Designing Your Store: Self-Service Laundry Management

To some customers, most self-service laundries look alike. Operators know better. While there aren’t many “radical” laundry layouts when it comes to washer-and-dryer placement, many stores have subtle design features. American Coin-Op has put together a more abstract approach to laundry design. This report, filled with input from industry representatives, examines the many factors that operators need to consider when designing a store.
Some of the topics include:
