We've put together general, broad based business information on the basics of building and analyzing a coin laundry business to better serve the industry. This section of HK Laundry Equipment website is designed to be an honest, informative presentation of the coin Laundromat business. To quote Sy Simms, "HK Laundry firmly believes that the most educated consumer is our best customer”.

In this world of rising costs, increasingly more complex regulations and large corporations, independent entrepreneurs can still generate a profit in the laundry business. More and more foresighted businessmen are investing in HK Laundry equipped coin operated Laundromat businesses.  With a reasonably small down-payment coin laundry business owners have been able to provide themselves with a lucrative source of cash income.  While each Laundromat situation is an independent venture and must be considered as such, there are basic guidelines which have proven universal. These coin laundry business guidelines were created keeping the most common questions of a prospective Laundromat owner in mind and to assist him to plan a successful business.
