From Corporate Job to Laundromat Owner...

Thinking about starting your own laundromat business? This inspiring episode features Steven, a former corporate sales executive from New Jersey, who left his 12-year career in Manhattan to build The Laundry Room, one of Orlando’s fastest-growing laundromat brands. From the ground up, Steven turned two brand-new laundromat builds — in Oak Ridge Road and Metro West — into profitable, community-focused stores, with a third location already on the way. 💼 From Corporate Life to Laundromat Success Steven’s story proves that you don’t need decades of industry experience to build a thriving laundry business — you just need vision, planning, and the right community around you. After 10 years at a startup and 2 years with a Fortune 500 company, Steven took the leap and went all in on laundromats, trading in a steady paycheck for freedom and ownership. Now, he manages multiple laundromats in Orlando and Miami — all remotely from New Jersey — and shares how you can do it too. 🧺 Inside The Laundry Room Each Laundry Room location is designed to feel welcoming, efficient, and modern — from 25-foot-high ceilings to LED accent lighting, custom branding, and even a Family Read & Learn Center where parents and kids can enjoy story time while doing laundry. The stores feature: 100 lb. washers, 80s, 60s, and 30s Hybrid payment options (quarters, mobile app, scan-to-pay) Drop-off, pickup, and delivery services A strong brand identity built for expansion With pickup and delivery growing rapidly, Steven now runs three vehicles and completes 70–80 customer stops daily, all branded under The Laundry Room name. 💰 What It Takes to Build a Laundromat Steven invested between $1.1M and $1.3M per location, covering construction, equipment, and local impact fees (which can cost up to $7,000 per washer in Orlando). While these numbers may seem intimidating, Steven breaks down why laundromats are one of the most stable and scalable businesses — especially when built the right way. “You have to be ready financially and mentally. But if you do it right, the laundromat business can change your life.” 🌱 Why Joining the Coin Laundry Association (CLA) Matters Steven credits part of his success to being an active member of the Coin Laundry Association (CLA) — the leading organization supporting laundromat owners across the U.S. Through CLA events, training, and networking, Steven connected with other operators, learned industry best practices, and built lasting relationships. “It can be a lonely business if you let it be. But when you join the CLA, you realize you’re part of something bigger — a community that wants to see you succeed.” If you’re serious about starting your own laundry business, don’t go it alone. 👉 Join the CLA today and connect with thousands of owners who share your goals. 🔗 [CLA Sign-Up – Scan the QR Code in the Video] or visit https://linktr.ee/claspotlight 🧠 Key Takeaways for Future Laundromat Owners ✔️ You can manage laundromats remotely with the right systems and team ✔️ Branding and design are powerful tools for customer loyalty ✔️ Start with self-service, then expand to drop-off and delivery ✔️ Understand local impact fees before building new ✔️ Join CLA to connect, learn, and grow your laundry business 🚀 Ready to Start Your Laundry Journey?
