Sell your laundromat or dry cleaner in Chesapeake, VA.

If you own an established laundromat or dry cleaner in Chesapeake, we buy stores like yours. We are operators building a national garment-care platform.

The people behind Valemont have owned these businesses. The team has launched over 200 laundromats, led over 100 acquisitions, and is backed by a board that has run public companies and closed transactions from hundreds of thousands to billions. When you sell to Valemont, you are paid fairly and the business keeps running.

We look for established businesses with real cash flow and a genuine customer reputation, run by owners thinking about their next chapter. A first conversation is confidential, commits you to nothing, and moving forward typically takes 30 to 90 days.

Chesapeake is a city of about 251,000 residents, the second-largest market we cover in Virginia. Census business counts show 9 laundromats and drycleaners operating in Chesapeake. Only about 26% of households rent here, so the stronger stores lean on wash-and-fold, delivery, and dry cleaning for customers who would rather buy back their time. That is lower than most Virginia cities we track, so the opportunity here leans toward drop-off and delivery. With a median household income near $94,189, Chesapeake supports strong drop-off and delivery volume on top of self-service. If you built a laundromat or dry cleaner in this market, you built something we take seriously.

What is a laundromat in Chesapeake worth?

Established laundromats generally trade in a range of roughly 2.5 to 5 times EBITDA, the store's yearly earnings after every cost. Where a store lands comes out of a full look at the business: the books, the lease, the equipment, the customers, and whatever due diligence turns up.

Every store is different, and a real number takes a real look. Read how laundromat value works, or start a confidential conversation and we will tell you what we see.
