27. All About Laundromat Franchises With Jim Williams
Episode description
Today's episode explores the idea behind laundromat franchises. A common question that new investors often have is whether they should strike out on their own or if they should become a franchisee. This growing trend isn't for everyone, but it perfectly suits some investors and today's guest, Jim Williams of WaveMAX, comes on the show to shed some light on laundromat franchising.
The laundromat franchise model has been around in various forms for a while, but some believe that all of the proper tools are in place to make laundromat franchises scalable, manageable, and economical. Jim talks through reasons he believes the franchise model is the way to go for many owners.
This episode is jam packed full of great insight. Even if you're not currently a franchisee or if you have no desire to own a franchise, there is still a TON of information in this episode that will help you run your business more efficiently and retain more profit.
In this episode, Jim and I discuss:
- Why franchises never caught on and why they might see more success now.
