Welcome to a landmark episode of the Laundromat Resource Podcast! In episode 200, host Jordan Berry is broadcasting from his early-morning “outdoor studio” in Hawaii, brimming with gratitude and excitement for how far the show—and its vibrant community—has come. To mark this special occasion, Jordan sits down with entrepreneur Brian Bassil, whose refreshing approach to the laundromat business proves that big results don’t always require big operations.

Brian shares his unique journey from pool service professional to multi-location laundromat owner, revealing how a knack for action, creative problem-solving, and a willingness to start small have shaped his success. From snapping up his first laundromat right off the MLS to doubling revenues with simple upgrades and marketing, to converting old buildings like pharmacies and gas stations into thriving new laundry hubs, Brian’s candid story provides inspiration (and tactical advice) for owners everywhere—especially those in smaller towns or eyeing modest spaces.

Tune in as we celebrate the lessons, laughter, and leaps of faith that have filled the last 200 episodes, and take away practical ideas you can implement in your own business today. Whether you’re a seasoned owner or new to the industry, Brian’s experiences, actionable insights, and even a clever grassroots marketing tip about branded pens promise to fuel your next steps. Let’s keep learning and growing together—here’s to another 200 episodes!
