Wash-N-Go Coin Laundromat<\/p>\n

Laundromat owner grows business with the help of his Huebsch\u00ae partners.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

A veteran entrepreneur, Dewayne Bohannon of South Carolina has owned small businesses for the last 25 years, ranging from self-storage to real estate to coin amusement\/arcade machines. Five years ago, he invested in the vended laundromat industry and hasn\u2019t looked back since. Bohannon\u2019s business ambition and willingness to learn from his laundromat partners has earned him the title, \u201cHuebsch\u00ae Store Owner of the Quarter.\u201d<\/h3>\n

At the time he opened his first laundromat, the economy was in a recession, and Bohannon was looking for a new business opportunity that was more recession-resistant. Being in the property management business, Bohannon was in-tune with the real estate landscape, as well as different businesses coming and going in the area.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAll at once, it seemed, I came across laundromats that weren\u2019t managed properly and realized this could be a good business opportunity,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>Bohannon says. \u201cI began looking for laundromats that were failing or had gone out of business, would buy them, fix them up and re-open them. I had the advantage of existing infrastructure, as well as knowing why each business failed, and I started reviving stores.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By January 2014, Bohannon had opened his seventh laundromat and he is currently working on opening an eighth. His stores \u2013 all under the name \u201cWash-n-go\u201d \u2013 are strategically scattered around South Carolina, but his latest \u2013 and biggest \u2013 store is in Columbia, South Carolina and boasts 4,000 square feet. It sits in a strip-mall complex that Bohannon built and owns, next to the Wash-n-go corporate office and a maid service.<\/p>\n

Bohannon has seen massive growth over the past five years and hopes to eventually own ten laundromats. However, he didn\u2019t get to this point overnight; it took a mixture of entrepreneurial spirit, the right equipment and guidance from laundry experts from the highest rated distributor network.<\/p>\n

\"\"Building a Foundation with the Right Equipment<\/h1>\n

Bohannon spent some time considering which laundry equipment brands to furnish his laundromat with, and by the time he got to Huebsch, he was sold. The selling point for Bohannon? Huebsch dryers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey offer an insanely fast drying time and are available in many different capacities,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>Bohannon recalls. \u201cI knew these machines would help me get customers in and out faster than any other brand and would offer sizes to meet the demands of different demographics.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

While Bohannon utilizes a variety of Huebsch equipment at each Wash-n-go store, he credits the success of his latest store, in part, to large capacity machines. These machines draw in a unique crowd of customers that correspond directly to his store\u2019s demographics. Because his latest store is situated in a more upscale community, there are not as many residents that rely on laundromats to clean all their laundry \u2013 as they typically have in-home equipment \u2013 but instead use laundromats to wash big items like comforters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt became a puzzle to match the demographics of a location to machines with the right capacity,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>Bohannon recalls. \u201cI wanted to offer the customers in the area the right mix of equipment that would best serve their needs.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bohannon also utilizes the innovative Galaxy\u2122 Controls for Huebsch to monitor energy and water usage at his stores, supervise turns-per-day, as well as automatically set multi-level vend prices and time-of-day pricing. For example, his machines automatically give customers discounts on slow days or slow times during the day to encourage use and drive incremental business.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe equipment is very user-friendly and allows me to take a hands-off approach to managing my stores while still being able to oversee what\u2019s going on in the big picture,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>Bohannon states. \u201cFor me, Huebsch equipment has been an absolute homerun.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

\"\"The Best Partnership is a Mutually Beneficial Relationship<\/h1>\n

What also made the Huebsch equipment a grand slam to Bohannon was the distributor that sold him his equipment and helped get his business off the ground \u2013 Laundry Systems of the Carolinas, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Once he had decided to invest in the laundromat business and decided Huebsch equipment was the best for his needs, he attended Clean Show \u2013 the world\u2019s most prominent trade show for those in the textile care industry \u2013 and ended up talking to Chad Bradley of Laundry Systems while visiting the Huebsch booth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a varied business background, I knew that Chad and Laundry Systems of the Carolinas could offer exactly what I was looking for,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>Bohannon says. \u201cI needed an extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy partner because I was new to the industry and didn\u2019t know all the nuances of the business.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Laundry Systems worked closely with Bohannon to open his first store, guiding him through the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invested in Dewayne just as he invested in Laundry Systems,\u201d Chad says. \u201cIt was refreshing to work with someone with such impressive business acumen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laundry Systems has since helped Bohannon open every subsequent store and provide him with all the guidance and Huebsch equipment he needs. Their expertise led him to acquire the right location for each laundromat, including detailed demographic information. Furthermore, they helped him plan and finance each operation. Most importantly, they act as a sounding board for Bohannon, giving him honest advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they know a laundromat won\u2019t be successful at a certain location, they will advise against it,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>Bohannon says. \u201cThey are invested in my success and would never mislead me. My relationship with Laundry Systems is a true partnership in every sense of the word.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Setting His Store Apart Sets Him Up for Success<\/h1>\n

Bohannon sets his latest laundromat apart from his competition \u2013 which he explains is five other stores within a three-mile radius \u2013 with his Huebsch equipment and ancillary services. He understands that laundry is no longer simply a transaction; customers want a comprehensive experience.<\/p>\n

To differentiate his business and foster a welcoming environment for his customers, Bohannon offers the convenience of both coin and card payment, accessible hours (6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.), attendants on site, bill-to-bill exchangers and vending machines with laundry products, snacks and drinks. He equips his store with free Wi-Fi, flat screen televisions, arcade machines and clean restrooms for his guests to use while they wait for their laundry to be cleaned. Wash-n-go customers can also take advantage of a generous loyalty program which allows them to earn credits for a free dry and other perks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this store, I wanted to offer a complete laundry experience and have plenty of options for guests to occupy their time,\u201d Bohannon says. \u201cMy goal is for every guest to have a positive experience while they\u2019re here. Laundry doesn\u2019t have to be a chore.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"The Right Financial Partner Lends a Hand to Impressive Expansion<\/h1>\n

Bohannon credits his significant expansion to his partnership with Huebsch Financial. He financed his stores and the machines he filled them with through his equipment manufacturer\u2019s finance operation. Not only was Bohannon able to obtain his first loan during an economic recession at a time where other lenders weren\u2019t as willing to partner with business owners, he was also able to expand his business from one store to seven in a matter of five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe terms that Huebsch Financial offered me were very fair, and they were much easier to work with than going through a commercial bank or the Small Business Association,\u201d Bohannon recalls. \u201cIt\u2019s refreshing to have a lender in your corner who understands the industry and is invested in your success. It\u2019s played a great role in our growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since starting his laundromat business, Bohannon has opened and completely paid off one new laundromat per year. And he isn\u2019t done growing, either. With the goal of maintaining a cash-flow business for retirement, Bohannon plans to open a new store in the first half of this year, followed by a free-standing store in 2017 and another in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my experience so far, laundry is a bullet-proof business,\u201d Bohannon says. \u201cAs a life-long entrepreneur, the vended laundromat business has given me the greatest ROI; however, I wouldn\u2019t have gotten here as quickly and smoothly as I have if I hadn\u2019t partnered with my Huebsch distributor and Huebsch Financial.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
