The Laundromat Spring Bounce
Overview
The laundromat industry experiences noticeable seasonal fluctuations. Winter months usually bring higher revenues due to increased laundering needs, while summer tends to see a 10-15% dip. This pattern arises as colder, wetter weather means more layers and bulkier clothes, which are great for filling up washing machines and dryers.
The Spring Surge
As spring arrives and summer approaches, an intriguing phenomenon occurs: "The Spring Bounce." Though its timing varies?"sometimes in April, other times in May?"it consistently boosts business for about a month. Here's why:
1. Seasonal Clothing Transition: As the weather warms, people pack away their winter clothes, washing them first to prepare for storage. This includes heavier items like comforters and blankets.
2. Summer Wardrobe Revival: At the same time, customers retrieve summer clothes from storage, necessitating a good wash. With events like graduations, new summer outfits also require laundering. These factors collectively contribute to an uptick in laundromat activity.
Advice for Investors
This seasonal spike can be misleading for potential laundromat investors. If you're considering purchasing a coin laundry in spring, be cautious. The influx of laundromats on the market during this time may coincide with many buyers armed with tax refunds looking to invest.
Key Considerations
- Evaluate Long-Term Data: Examine financial records spanning at least two years, which should include two summer periods. This broader view helps you understand the laundromat's true earning potential throughout the year.
- Avoid Overpaying: A case in point is a prospective buyer I encountered last spring. He nearly overpaid by $75,000 due to relying on only the past six months' figures, which captured peak earnings. Fortunately, he consulted with me in time and avoided a costly mistake.
Conclusion
Be wary of "The Spring Bounce" when shopping for a laundromat. Much like in the world of Winnie-the-Pooh, where unexpected surprises await, this seasonal shift requires careful attention. And yes, a similar pattern occurs in the fall, right around the time of pumpkins. Stay informed and make smart investment decisions.
