I am in the process of purchasing an existing laundromat and retooling. The current owner has a dozen 30# dryers that are less than 5 years old. Is there any reason to not replace 6 30# dryers with 5 50# double-stack dryers? It seems like they would make more money per sq ft.
Pros:
– higher vend price
– 10 machines vs. 6
– used dryers to sell (realizing I won’t get much)
– increased dryer capacity allows me to put more washers in
Cons:
– significant additional cash outlay
Thanx!
