I’ve managed to grocery store before & I know how to use a washer & dryer so I thought I was ready to own a laundromat.
- It turned out to be a little bit more difficult than I thought.
The first month I noticed that it was impossible to keep the laundromat cool. It was consistently genuinely hot & humid & people were not glad about it. I did not want to lose the existing clients so I called out an Heating & A/C corporation. The serviceman explained that the humidity was from all the washers & the dryers added to the heat, then my existing A/C simply was not ready to handle all of this heat & humidity. The serviceman commanded that I get a current Heating & A/C system & add dehumidifiers. This was a big expense & I was not sure I can afford after buying the laundromat. It took a few months, however I was finally able to take out an additional business loan to pay for the repairs. Thankfully it didn’t cost me too much more every month. Then I called the Heating & A/C supplier back to get to work. They were able to install entirely nice air conditioner along with the dehumidifiers that were commanded . Thankfully a lot of my clients stuck around & they notice the cool air immediately. When Summer rolled around I was genuinely grateful for my decision as I started getting more & more clients to my laundromat. I feel word was spreading that I had a great A/C & people were coming from other laundromats to use mine instead. Fixing an A/C entirely ended up paying for itself over about a two year’s time. I have learned a lot about running a laundromat since I bought this locale.
