I tweet about laundromats. And, I’m really good at folding laundry.

We sold our company!

A few weeks ago, 2U Laundry acquired The Folde.

They build beautiful laundromats through their laundromat franchise concept - LaundroLab.

Now we’re helping them launch delivery laundry service out of these laundromats - all over the country.

@SullyBusiness Harder that expected some days…

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

“Dog hairs and drug dealers” makes for some nice headline alliteration.

But those two are nothing compared to the personally guaranteed loans and long term leases…

The story on bankruptcies and foreclosures isn’t as fun to write as the one about the mild inconveniences of dog hairs and drug dealers.

@KenBarrettHQ I remember it like it was yesterday!

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

Pretty cool to see WDF come to Austin.

Even cooler to see how big this part of the laundry industry has become since we started betting on it years ago.

Turns out the niche wasn’t so niche…

@tripleoss Last I logged in this app, you didn’t like posts. My jaw hit the floor!

Laundromat number 32 is open in Miami!

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

Show me your laundromat keys and I’ll tell you how your store is run.

These beauties caught my attention while in San Antonio with one of our franchise partners.

@_jdill23 Love it!

If you’re curious what the professional locker rooms use.

Or, if you ever want to give the power washer a day off…

Boss, the dryers are broken again…

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

New rule -

If you don't build the beautiful laundromat and write the website copy, you don't get to tweet about it.

Though I suppose that would put a lot of laundromat influencers out of a job...

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

I'm so confused by this.

It has to be a bot, right?

He/it is pulling photos and copy direct from our website and tweeting them without really any other context.

He's not selling coins or pushing his Only Fans account. The links seem real. What gives?

Have I been away from Twitter so long that I don't know how these new-era bots work?

Gym Towel Laundry Service Isn’t a One Size Fits All Solution
So, we don’t treat it like one…

Some use a laundry service as a replacement for their washing machines while others just use us when things start falling behind.

Most businesses opt for custom quoted recurring laundry programs. Oftentimes, these are quoted on a per pound basis – like a traditional laundry service. These programs handle your scheduling and pricing on an individual account level.

2ULaundry is a fully insured small business laundry partner. We hire full-time, W2 laundry specialists – no gig workers or Uber drivers. We operate out of our network of absolutely beautiful laundromats.

On time and on budget in Fort Worth.

First inspections are next week.

In a few months, this will be a beautiful laundromat...

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

@arthurk192 Yeah. We have a couple options - this being the base option. Epoxy is the premium.

Personally, I like the lower entry cost and lower maintenance & replacement costs.

But, it sure doesn’t pop the same as the pink epoxy flakes.

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

Three weeks out.

Two weeks out.

One week out.

We’re almost open in Jacksonville.

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

Everyone wants to own a laundromat but nobody wants to clean a lint trap…

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

We gave away 18,000 pounds of free laundry to over 450 folks at our grand openings in Dallas last week.

Awesome stores. Awesome operators.

I’m excited for Dallas.

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

@KenBarrettHQ @TylerPurcell24 Charge them double for calling it 90’s style! Ha

[Mark Vlaskamp @markvlaskamp]

More laundromats open.

More hype music in grand opening videos.
