Established laundromats generally trade in a range of roughly 2 to 4 times EBITDA, the store's yearly earnings after every cost. Where a store lands depends on the lease, the age of the equipment, how much of the business is wash-and-fold and delivery, and how clean the books are.
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.
