Welcome to Laundromat News Today. I am your news anchor for today. Maybe your favorite, maybe you’re not favorite. All things Laundromat related, we’re bringing you news from around the world. We’re gonna start with a cautionary tale of a man who’s learning a 900 lesson. You got the wrong bag of laundry and ended up losing a lawsuit. So just, you know, wanted to bring this up just to highlight. Hey, if you’re doing a drop off business or a pickup and delivery business, you know, pay extra close attention to who’s getting what laundry.

Jordan Berry [00:00:39]:
Ended up being a little bit of a hefty fine there for this guy who picked up the wrong bag of laundry and accidentally I, well, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt, say accidentally took the wrong laundry home. All right, moving on. Our friend, you may have seen his stuff all over the Internet. He is, I believe, the OG coin collector on social media when it comes to laundromats. Brandon Schlichter from Investment Joy has made the news as he’s sharing how he bought a laundromat for $15,000 and shares how much money it made him in three days. He’s been doing this for a few years now and crushing it over there. So, so congrats to Brandon not only for snagging a $15,000 laundromat and be able to being able to create content with it, but also for making the news while doing it. So awesome stuff.

Jordan Berry [00:01:33]:
We gotta head down under. We’re going international right now. Heading down under and once again, alliance back in the news. They are Alliance. You might know them from speed queen and hips machines, most famously also primus and ipso, I believe. But they are making a push down under in Australia for laundromat investment and they are touting the benefits of laundromats and also trying to help project laundromats out into the future and saying, hey, we’re not just Coinbase stores anymore. We’ve got a lot of other options. We’ve got a lot of things going for us over here as an investment class.

Jordan Berry [00:02:14]:
So they’re making a push over there and keeping it in Australia. Keeping it down under. We’ve got a laundromat that is in Carlton. I, I can’t. Let me see. Oh, yeah, Soap Spot. It’s called Soap Spot in Carlton. Down there in Victoria.

Jordan Berry [00:02:35]:
Victoria, Australia, that is serving stuffed pizza and tarts anon sweets at their laundromat. We’ve had multiple things. We had junior who’s Coming up on the podcast by the way. Definitely check that one out. Who is got laundries and latte. We’ve had some pizza joints, we’ve had some cafes and laundromats. There’s a been a Cuban food award winning Cuban food in Miami and laundromat and now we’ve got stuffed pizzas and tarts, anon sweets in a, an Australian Carlton, Australia laundromat here. Listen, there is no limit.

Jordan Berry [00:03:22]:
Your imagination is the only limit to what you can do with your laundromat. Okay, that’s, that’s the point I want to make here is you can do all kinds of things with this laundromat including stuffed pizza. I don’t know how it’s different from like a calzone here in America, but maybe that’s. Or a hot pocket, maybe it’s basically hot pockets and hearts and on happening over here. But you’re only limited by your own creativity. So don’t, you know, listen, don’t get stifled in just doing the same old thing all the time. Find your own niche, find your own thing. Build a brand around it.

Jordan Berry [00:03:58]:
Maybe you can be on the news one of these days as well. Okay, I just mentioned Junior who is about to be on the podcast here. Let’s talk about another upcoming podcast guest who is back in the news again for the second week in a row. We’ve got Sophie swiftfold, the Dinah robot who’s folding clothes in Sacramento at Monster Laundry. You’re going to hear more about that here in a couple of weeks on the podcast. But listen, a lot of us saw this folding robots happening at the Clean show a few, a few weeks ago now, maybe a month or so ago. And these are already in at least one laundromat here doing actual work. We got to pay attention to this stuff.

Jordan Berry [00:04:47]:
This is the kind of stuff that is happening all around us right now. And listen, I don’t know if this is going to be a thing that’s going to stick or not, but regardless, we’ve got to be paying attention to the changes happening. This is not just the front of the wave of technology for our industry. This is us pushing up into the front of the wave of technology in general, which is a, I would say a novelty for us for a long time at least. And we’ve got a chance to be a part of the front wave here of technology and what’s happening. So be paying attention to, to this story as it kind of unfolds and, and probably new stories as more people try this new technology. Out. It’s really interesting.

Jordan Berry [00:05:37]:
And while we’re sticking on the topic of podcast guests, we have got to go to one of our favorite couples podcast guests, Nick and Sarah Mackin over there, who’ve got a free laundry day coming up. Making the news, making a difference out there in Newberry, South Carolina. Listen, fish. Free laundry day. Incredible way to give back to the community. And when we say free laundry day, that might mean you donate laundry for a day or something like that. That might mean you partner with a nonprofit or a company and they pay for laundry for people for a day. There’s lots of different ways to skin this cat to use a terrible.

Jordan Berry [00:06:19]:
What is that? An idiom. Terrible idiom. But there’s lots of different ways to do that and look for ways to give back. Congrats to Nick and Sarah Mackin for doing it. Can’t wait to hear how that free laundry day goes. And let’s wrap this up with probably the best news here is that we’ve got two industry events. One is coming up like next week and one is coming up in a little over little under two months. Event number one coming up next week is a laundry CEO forum that’s happening in Dallas.
