What Is LaundroLab 101?

Training built for the real world of laundromat ownership.

LaundroLab 101 is our comprehensive new store training program — designed specifically for store owners and their management teams to be fully prepared before they open their doors. It’s a blended learning program, combining the flexibility of self-paced digital coursework with intensive, hands-on facility-based training at LaundroLab headquarters in Charlotte, NC. You don’t just learn about running a LaundroLab — you actually do it, before day one.

Self-Paced Digital Learning

Online modules delivered through LaundroLab’s Learning Management System (LMS) — complete them on your schedule while your store is under construction. Interactive tools, self-assessments, and scenario-based practice keep learning active, not passive.

2-Day In-Person Training

Monthly cohort sessions at LaundroLab headquarters and our laundromat facilities in Charlotte, NC. You’ll reinforce everything from the digital curriculum and put it into real practice — on real machines, with real laundry. Wear comfortable shoes.

Ongoing Portal Access

Training doesn’t stop at graduation. LaundroLab’s Notion-based knowledge hub — a Wikipedia for everything LaundroLab — stays with you and your entire team for the life of your franchise.

Training Timeline

Training happens while your store is being built.

LL101 is timed to key construction milestones — so you arrive at opening day confident, not scrambling.

The Agenda

Three parts built to give you everything you need.

Your two-day LaundroLab 101 experience is built around three components: hands-on store training, focused management sessions, and time to build relationships with the people who will support your business.

1

In the Store

Laundromat Sessions

We put you to work in a variety of our Charlotte-area LaundroLabs so you see the full range of how stores operate in the real world.

  • Work the machines and feel the operation firsthand
  • Talk to team members and engage with real customers
  • Empty coin changers and work on machine components
  • Process your own WDF order start to finish
2

In the Office

Management Sessions

A rotating series of deep dives where each department head walks you through their world — what they do, how they think, and how they’ll support you.

  • Real estate & construction — final planning as your project wraps up
  • Training & operations — getting to know the LaundroLab way
  • Detailed reviews of marketing, technology, and PUD operations
  • Finance & leadership — the numbers and payment ops behind the scenes
3

Off the Clock

Dinners & Social Time

Great franchises are built on genuine relationships. Away from the stores and boardroom, we make space to just be people — share meals and get to know each other.

  • Planned dinners with the team each evening
  • Lunches built for casual, honest conversation
  • We want to know your family, background, and goals
  • Charlotte is a great city — we show you around

Your LaundroLab 101 Final Exam

The Folding Test

Your final challenge is a real wash-dry-fold order, processed from start to finish. You’ll move it through the software, work the apps, wash, dry, fold, and package it to LaundroLab standards. We grade our folds hard, and we’ll grade yours too. After expert-led training, we think you’ll be ready.
