77. Level Up Your Laundry Empire with Mark Vlaskamp
Episode description
If you're starting from the bottom and hoping to build a thriving business, Mark has the roadmap. If you're a laundromat or laundry service owner hoping to take your business to the next level, Mark has the roadmap.
Mark started in the laundry business with no laundromat and began offering a laundry pick-up & delivery (PUD) service to customers. He and his partners quickly scaled that business up and now do thousands of pounds of laundry every day and are soon-to-be closing on their third laundromat location and counting.
Not only is his business thriving, but he's also on a mission to continue to expand and to pull the whole industry along with him. Creative thinking, testing, and innovating, he's also giving back to help others benefit from the hard-earned lessons he's learned.
