LAS VEGAS — Licensing program kathy ireland® Laundry, the on-demand service developed by MainStreetChamber Holdings Inc. (MSCH), reports it has passed a major milestone: operating in more than 100 licensed U.S. markets.
Since its launch earlier this year, kathy ireland Laundry has grown rapidly by combining a recognizable global brand with modern laundry technology, the company says.
Marc McNamara, president of kathy ireland Laundry, calls the 100-market milestone “a tremendous achievement” that showcases both partner commitment and consumer demand for reliable pickup-and-delivery service.
Licensed laundromats use advanced software to track orders in real time, process payments securely, and streamline operations. Customers can schedule pickups and deliveries through a mobile app.
The MSCH team backs licensed locations through marketing and operational support, the company says, helping laundromat partners grow residential and commercial accounts. Target markets include apartment communities, college campuses, multifamily housing developments, and short-term rental properties such as Airbnbs.
For laundromat owners, the model requires no extra staffing or liability. Paying a licensing fee grants them access to proprietary systems, software, and a protected territory.
“The laundromat industry is evolving rapidly into a technology-driven business, and those who adapt will capture the most market share,” says John Bellave, CEO of Advanced Licensing.
Ireland, whom License Global names as one of the most powerful women in licensing, adds, “Partnering with laundromat owners nationwide allows us to empower independent businesses while offering customers the convenience they deserve.”
