Vended Laundry Solutions
Whether you are operating an established card or coin operated laundry, or thinking about opening one, Girbau North America can show you creative ways to get the most from your investment.
Laundry Development
Access to clean clothes is essential, just like food and shelter. This fundamental need is one reason why investments in card and coin-operated laundries tend to remain stable, even during economic downturns. Many experts consider them nearly recession-proof. These businesses typically run on a cash-in-advance model and require minimal inventory, making them a reliable and resilient investment opportunity.
Highly Efficient Equipment
Selecting the vended laundry equipment is essential for optimizing your business. The right equipment can help reduce overhead costs by conserving natural gas, electricity, and water. It also attracts customers who value faster wash and dry cycles, increases customer turnover, and offers unmatched programmability for storeowners.
