We buy to operate, not to strip.
Valemont Group acquires established laundromats and dry cleaners and operates them for the long term. The people behind Valemont have owned these businesses, so we buy to run them and improve them, not to strip them for a quick return.
We bring the capital and systems most independents never had, and we keep what works. The team stays, the customers stay, and the business is handed to operators, not to a spreadsheet.
What we look for
Established laundromats, wash-and-fold operations, and dry cleaners with real cash flow and a genuine customer reputation.
Where we buy
Across the United States. We are building a national platform, not filling a single market.
How we work
We are selective about the businesses we pursue, and we move quickly and close cleanly when there is a fit.
The hardest part of selling is not the number. It is the day after.
Your customers keep the service they trust. Your name and the relationships you built in your community do not get erased overnight. We keep what works, on purpose, because the goodwill you created is part of what makes the business worth owning.
And your people are part of what we are buying. We would rather grow the team than cut it. We will not put a promise in writing that we might not keep, but a good team is one of the main reasons a business is worth buying at all.
A single location can still win. The bar keeps rising.
The economics of a single location have gotten harder. Equipment costs more and takes longer to replace. Utilities and labor climb every year. Customers now expect wash-and-fold, pickup and delivery, and same-day turnaround.
Operators with scale and capital absorb that more easily than one owner can, whether that owner runs a single store or several. Many owners choose to sell while their numbers are strong.
