Laundromats are good business. One proof to this is its resilience amidst our ever-changing lifestyle. Did you know that even as early as the 1930s, there are already such businesses in the United States?
I remember during the 90s, they slowly began appearing around Metro Manila. And since then, laundromats have never stopped growing as a type of business. In fact, I believe city residents are more dependent on them today than ever before.
Why is a laundry shop business a good business?
Primarily, because everyone needs clean clothes. Even if times are difficult, people will still need to do their laundry. You could say that this type of business is recession-resistant.
Secondly, today’s fast-paced lifestyle values productivity. Most people would choose to do meaningful activities rather than mechanical chores such as doing their laundry.
Personally, I’ve calculated that it’s actually cheaper to go to the laundry shop than to wash my own clothes at home, and not to mention faster. Plus, I get to save some space at home because I don’t need to have a washing machine anymore.
Another reason why laundry shop businesses is good business is because customers usually pay in cash. Moreover, having a self-service laundromat can allow you to earn passively, similar to having a vending machine business.
