Welcome back to the Laundromat Resource Podcast! In this episode, host Jordan Berry sits down with power couple Justin Eaton and Ashley Eaton, who share the behind-the-scenes story of how they scaled their laundromat portfolio from zero to four stores in just two years. If you've ever wondered what it takes to break into the laundromat industry—especially as a younger, innovative owner—this episode is packed with honest insights, actionable advice, and a healthy dose of inspiration.
Justin Eaton and Ashley Eaton reveal how their real estate experience set the foundation for their laundromat success, why they prioritize automation and customer service, and the reality of funding and renovating zombie mats. From negotiating deals and leveraging seller financing to the nitty-gritty of daily operations and creating a recognizable brand, you’ll hear exactly how they did it—mistakes, wins, and all.
Whether you’re dreaming of owning your first store or looking to expand your portfolio, this conversation offers practical strategies and candid stories you can’t find anywhere else.
