 What can 32 years in the laundromat business teach you?

In this episode of The Laundromat Millionaire Show, we sit down with Cristina Iacobelli, a 32-year veteran laundromat owner, to talk about how the laundry industry has changed, what today’s new owners need to know, and some of the lessons that only decades of experience can teach.

Cristina shares her perspective on how laundromat ownership has evolved over the years—from changing customer expectations and technology to the way successful owners approach running and growing their businesses.

But some of Cristina’s biggest lessons didn’t come from inside her own laundromat.

For years, she felt like she could figure things out on her own and didn’t necessarily need help from other owners. That changed when she began attending laundry industry events, building relationships, and discovering just how valuable it can be to learn from people facing the same challenges.

In this conversation, we discuss:

🧺 What has changed during Cristina’s 32 years in the laundromat industry
🧺 Lessons she wishes more new laundromat owners understood
🧺 Advice for entrepreneurs entering the laundromat business today
🧺 Why experience doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out yourself
🧺 How attending industry events changed Cristina’s perspective
🧺 The value of networking with other laundromat owners
🧺 Why sharing ideas can make you a stronger business owner
🧺 Lessons learned from more than three decades of ownership

Whether you’re considering buying your first laundromat, are a newer owner trying to navigate the business, or have been in the laundry industry for years, Cristina’s story is a reminder that there is always something new to learn—and sometimes your greatest resource is another owner who has already been there.

 How do you get customers through the door when you’ve just opened or taken over a laundromat?

In this episode of The Laundromat Millionaire Show, Dave and Carla Menz sit down with Cat Chalpin, owner of Pop In Laundry in New York, to talk about her journey into the laundromat industry, acquiring and renovating her first store, building a memorable laundromat brand, and finding creative ways to attract new customers.

Cat shares how she balanced a laundromat renovation while working a full-time job, the lessons she learned as a first-time laundromat owner, and the marketing strategies she’s using to grow the business.

A major focus of the conversation is laundromat marketing and promotions. Cat discusses creative ways to increase traffic during traditionally slow days and times, including Free Laundry Day promotions and even partnering with other businesses to help sponsor community laundry events.

They also discuss the growth opportunities Cat sees in wash-dry-fold (WDF) and laundry pickup and delivery, the importance of creating a strong brand, working with the right laundromat equipment distributor, and using your laundromat to make a positive impact in the local community.

If you’re thinking about buying your first laundromat, recently opened a store, or are looking for new ideas to increase laundromat customers and sales, this episode is packed with practical ideas you can put to work in your business.

 What does it take to buy your first laundromat—and then grow beyond traditional self-service laundry?

In this episode of The Laundromat Millionaire Show, Dave and Carla Menz interview laundromat owner and entrepreneur Alyssa Mouton about her journey into the laundry industry and the lessons she learned while purchasing her first laundromat.

The conversation then turns to one of the biggest growth opportunities available to laundry business owners: government laundry contracts.

Alyssa shares practical insights into finding and securing government contracts for laundry pickup and delivery services. She discusses how laundromat owners can identify contract opportunities, prepare their businesses to work with government agencies, navigate the bidding process, and build the systems needed to fulfill large commercial laundry accounts.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Alyssa purchased her first laundromat
• Challenges new laundromat owners should prepare for
• Why government contracts can be valuable for laundry businesses
• Where to find government laundry contract opportunities
• How to prepare for the government bidding process
• What agencies look for when selecting laundry service providers
• How certifications and registrations may help your business qualify
• Common mistakes to avoid when submitting a government bid
• How to price laundry pickup and delivery contracts profitably
• The operational systems needed to service large accounts
• Why persistence and relationship-building matter when pursuing contracts

Whether you currently own a laundromat, operate a laundry pickup and delivery business, or are looking for new ways to increase commercial laundry revenue, this episode offers actionable advice for expanding into government and institutional accounts.

Government contracts can create recurring revenue, larger order volume, and long-term growth—but winning them requires preparation, professionalism, and a clear understanding of the procurement process.
