A useful rule of thumb: established stores trade around 2 to 4 times EBITDA, what the store earns after every cost. A long lease, newer machines, a real wash-and-fold book, and clean records all push a store toward the top of that range.
Rules of thumb are where the conversation starts, not where it ends. Read how laundromat value works, or start a confidential conversation and we will tell you what we see.
