Welcome to the PlanetLaundry podcast! In today’s episode, host Matt DeWolf sits down with Marcia Spivey, an inspiring entrepreneur who’s reimagining what a laundromat can mean for the community. Marcia isn’t just opening any laundromat—she’s building the Hub Laundromat Cafe in Detroit, a unique brick-and-mortar space that serves as a trifecta: a place to do laundry, grab great food from local entrepreneurs, and connect with resources and people through workshops and events.
From her beginnings in community advocacy to her drive to create catalytic change in her own neighborhood, Marcia shares the story of her journey into the laundry industry. You’ll hear her candid reflections on the challenges and rewards of developing her business from the ground up—navigating real estate, construction, and building community partnerships, all while staying true to her social mission.
Dive in as Marcia and Matt discuss the importance of accountability, creating a hub for connection, and never giving up—plus some practical advice for anyone considering a leap into laundromat ownership. Whether you’re an industry veteran or just love to hear about entrepreneurs making a difference, this episode is packed with insights, determination, and hope for Detroit’s future.
