CLA Laundry Industry Meet-Ups Gain Momentum

Coin Laundry Association's Live Events Program Attracts Lots of Business Owners

CHICAGO (PRWEB) May 22, 2018

The Coin Laundry Association hosted a networking and education event for self-service laundry owners in New York April 24, 2018. One of the goals of the Coin Laundry Association is to foster camaraderie and knowledge sharing among the laundry owners across America. The CLA feels that the ability for laundromat owners to meet, network, and discuss topics allows for participants to tap into an enormous resource of information which can help business owners to further their success.

In 2017, the CLA started a new “Laundromat Industry Meet-Up” program with a pilot event in Georgia. There has not been a CLA Affiliate organization in that state, and, to reach the laundromat-owner community in a potentially underserved location, it seemed to be a great opportunity. And it was considered by the organization to be a success. Subsequently, other similar “meet-ups” have occurred in Georgia, Alabama, Washington DC, and New York.

On April 24, 2018, over a hundred laundromat owners gathered for the New York Metro Laundry Industry Meet-Up hosted at Eastern Funding’s office in Melville, NY. Like-minded laundry owners gathered around 3 p.m. to learn and network. The program began with Mr. Grell presenting on the best practices on retooling a store to maximize profitability. Then, after more networking and refreshments, President and CEO of the CLA, Brian Wallace, spoke to the audience about the use of technology to change the way laundromats do business. Furthermore, he shared some stories about how the local coin laundry can be a conduit for learning.

Another similar Laundry Industry Meet-Up took place in New Jersey. The Coin Laundry Association has not historically had its own meetings in these locations, though the demand for such events has been expressed by the laundromat-owner community in the US. Future plans include continuing expansion to other locations throughout the United States to bring the laundry owner community together in a way that is friendly and beneficial to all.
