What training do you provide?

We pride ourselves on operational excellence and providing a 5-star experience to our customers and store owners. Before you open, you'll attend a hybrid training at our headquarters in Charlotte, NC followed by on-site training at your store during your soft opening. You will have ongoing access to a Franchise Business Coach, Marketing Consultant, HR Consultant, and an incredible network of LaundroLab Laundropreneurs™ to lean on as well.

What will my responsibilities be as a LaundroLab owner?

Laundromats are considered a semi-absentee business model. It takes ~6-12 months to get comfortable with your store and develop a strong frontline team. Your main responsibilities will be hiring and training the right team to run the day-to-day operations of your store.
