Hank's Bio
As a single dad, my priority is to spend as much time with my two boys as I can, and doing laundry is yet another chore that takes me away from them. The cost in time and money is just too high. That is why I created Half Price Laundry.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality cleaning at the lowest possible price. That way, you can spend more money on the things you want and more time with the people you love.
Equally important is leaving my children with a world that is better than the one I inherited. That is why we use high-efficiency, commercial washers and dryers made by Continental. Designed to drive down water, electrical and gas costs while improving productivity, our high-performance washer-extractors deliver more performance using less labor, natural resources, and chemicals.
Founder and CEO Hank Nelken is a screenwriter / entrepreneur who works with communities in Los Angeles to provide high quality laundry at an affordable price. Hank believes quality, convenience, and impeccable customer service are the most important aspects of his or any business. Hank owns two laundromats in Arleta and Panorama City, CA. Hank is also a commercial real estate agent with Keller Williams, Beverly Hills. Hank’s screenwriting credits include Saving Silverman, Are We Done Yet?, and Mama’s Boy. Hank holds a BA from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
