INWOOD, N.Y. — Laundrylux, which distributes Wascomat and Electrolux commercial laundry equipment in North America, is offering a disaster recovery program for Laundromats affected by Hurricane Matthew, the company reports.
Its program includes no payments for 90 days with six months of interest-only payments, plus low fixed interest rates. In addition, Laundrylux will waive all fees.
“We understand how catastrophic hurricanes can be and we want to help laundry owners get their businesses back up and running quickly,” says John Olsen, senior vice president of Coin and OPL Sales for Laundrylux. “We are working hand-in-hand with our distributors in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas to make it as affordable as possible for laundry owners — as well as owners of hotels, nursing homes, long-term care, and other facilities — to get the laundry equipment they need immediately. We have over 5,000 machines in stock, ready to ship.”
“I live in Florida and I’ve seen the devastating effects of hurricanes and flooding,” says Allen Berndt, Laundrylux regional business development manager. “I’ve witnessed first-hand how painful it is for my customers and friends to have their businesses destroyed. We understand you need your business restored as fast as possible — and we hope this recovery program will help do just that.”
Hurricane Matthew has been blamed for at least 27 deaths in the United States since churning along the Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina coastlines. The storm moved away from the U.S. coastline on Sunday and weakened to a post-tropical cyclone.
Laundrylux offered similar disaster recovery programs following Midwest flooding in 2015, Colorado flooding in 2013 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
