You can re-price the machines, retrofit the dryers, add wash-and-fold, convert to card. The one thing you cannot easily change is the lease. <strong>A laundromat is a fixed-location business with $150K–$400K of equipment bolted to the floor — the lease you sign is effectively the deed to your revenue for the next decade.</strong> Sign a bad one and you spend ten years operating a store that can never quite make its numbers work. Sign a good one and you have a defensible, sellable asset.</p>
