SUMMARY:Exploring the New Franchise Model
DESCRIPTION:There has been an increase in laundromat franchises over the last few years. Buying a laundromat franchise can be a good option for entrepreneurs who prefer to use a proven model rather than start from scratch. Franchises can offer economies of scale on equipment\, operations and marketing. However\, they come with a price tag and some industry professionals don’t believe there is enough value in a laundromat brand yet to justify the fees. Attend this program to hear the pros and cons of buying a franchise so you can make the best decision for getting into the business.\n\nSpeakers:\n– Dan Bowe\, Speed Queen Laundry Franchise\n– Beck Miller\, Laundrolabs\nThe cost to attend this program is $29.  Premier members are free.\nEach person who registers will receive a recording of the program. \n[button link=”https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/2881611482693037836″ type=”big” newwindow=”yes”] REGISTER HERE[/button] \n \n\n \n\n
