Selling a laundromat in New England.
New England is one of the strongest laundromat regions in the country, and it is where Valemont Group is buying most actively. If you own a store between Portland and Bridgeport, this page is about your market.
Why the region works
The mill cities that anchor the region, places like Worcester, Lowell, Fall River, and Bridgeport, are dense with renters, and renters are the backbone of laundromat demand. The housing stock runs old, in-unit laundry is far from universal, and winter makes the local laundromat a service people rely on year round. These are durable markets, and the stores that serve them well hold their value.
What sellers here deal with
The same age that makes the market also shows up in the stores. Equipment skews older, utility costs run high in gas and water markets, and leases in family-owned buildings are often handshake-renewed for years. None of this stops a sale. It shapes the price and the preparation. A written lease and an equipment list with ages, per our document checklist, do more for a New England seller than anywhere else we buy.
Where we buy
