Innovator
Arthur has been instrumental in changing the commercial laundry industry from the old style, small, and limited service neighborhood Laundromat to what is now a long and very successful series of small, medium, large and 10,000 square foot mega-laundries that offer to its customers a menu of services, including Self-Service, Drop-Off Laundry, Drop-Off Dry Cleaning, Commercial Laundry Services, a full complement of retail sales of washing products, as well as food, snacks, drinks, internet-café, video games, free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, multiple large screen televisions, music, as well as experienced, friendly and helpful employees who not only take care of customer’s needs and questions but who also keep the stores clean and organized. Which in turn has created a pleasant environment for all of its customers. Bringing the Commercial Laundry industry out of the 20th century and into the 21st century of full service stores that meet the laundry needs of families in all walks of life.
With the widespread availability of high-speed broadband internet service, Arthur has been able to offer his clients the opportunity to own and operate the Cashless, Card Laundry store that utilizes both Debit and Credit Cards that can operate all of the store’s Washers and Dryers. Card laundries also offer the owner the advantage of having all the store’s goods and services purchased with debit or credit cards which minimizes the opportunity for lost income.
Philosophy
“As in any business undertaking, it has taken us years of time and effort as well as some painful experiences to develop a well thought out formula to help our customers in every facet of the Commercial Laundry Industry. Owning, and operating a successful business is a marriage of the right person, in the ideal business. We provide an understanding of the business, and only after we are both satisfied that we have a good fit, do we move ahead.”
“The most rewarding aspect of what we do, is that over the years we have been able to help so many people reach their personal and financial goals. Our satisfaction comes from hearing and knowing that we have made a positive impact on our client’s life. If you are serious about going into the Laundry business, or improving the Laundry business you currently own, or maybe moving into a larger Laundry facility, a great place to start is by giving me a call or sending me an email and I will personally start you on the way to a rewarding business experience.”
