36TH ANNUAL BUYER’S GUIDE In last year’s American Coin-Op State of the Industry Survey, roughly 38% of store owners polled were planning to add some type of equipment (washer, dryer, water heater, vending machine or other) in 2017, or they had already done so.

We’ll have to wait a tick to find out how many respondents fit that profile this year—our 2018 survey report comes out next month—but I’ll go out on a limb and say that those 2017 purchasing decisions relied on our annual Buyer’s Guide ... like the one in your hands.

If you’re in the market for equipment or some supplies, simply locate the product in our Products Directory starting on page 16.

It lists companies that make or supply things like carts, laundry equipment, arcade games, payment systems, vending items, bulkheads, money handling equipment, and anything else you may need to run your Laundromat.

Once you’ve found your preferred company, simply flip to the Manufacturers & Suppliers Directory beginning on page 26 to find their pertinent contact information: mailing address, phone numbers, website address and e-mail address.

Keep this Guide handy, as I’m certain you’ll find it useful throughout the year. But if you should find yourself in need of it while on the road, fear not — our online version is available 24/7 at www.americancoinop.com.

PROUDLY PRESENTING ... THE AMERICAN COIN-OP PODCAST! I’m excited to report that American Coin-Op now has its very own podcast. In Episode 1, Laundry Sales Tax: Is Your State Next?, Chicago multi-store owner Paul Hansen and I discuss some important tax issues facing self-service laundry owners today. It’s available on our website, or subscribe at Apple iTunes or Google Play. For more details, turn to page 43.

“The Independent Voice of the Self-Service Laundry Industry” just got a little louder.

In-Laws in Laundry Peanut’s cracks open lucrative east Georgia markets

L

ittle did Steven Dawkins know when he gave his daughter’s hand in marriage to Casey Norman that he, too, was getting hitched. The proud father, whose favorite snack earned him the boyhood nickname “Peanut,” gained not only a son-in-law, but a business partner for his conventional coin laundries with the rather unconventional name.

The duo — close as two kernels in a shell — have cracked open lucrative east First installment of a two-part series on unique family ventures

Georgia markets with their Peanut’s Coin Laundry brand, where simplicity of design lends itself to the intuitive interaction between man and machine in an aroundthe-clock self-service environment.

Out of a lone coin laundry/car wash outpost grew a diverse 10-operation chain, maturing rapidly with three single purpose-built coin-op openings in as many years. And along the way, the special bond between father-in-law and son-inlaw strengthened as the younger proved his worth to the elder.

“Without Casey, we would not be here having this conversation,” the 57-year-old

Dawkins tells me as we get acquainted awaiting his partner’s arrival inside their most novel project to date — a buffet steakhouse-turned-laundry.

Hearing the tale of how the pair ended up with this latest smorgasbord of washers and dryers was worthy of a detour off Interstate 20.

‘I WAS SCARED TO TURN IT LOOSE...’

“I thought I made the biggest blunder of my life,” Dawkins recalls of getting his feet wet in the business 18 years ago when he scooped up a neglected coin-op/four-bay car wash tandem near his established pressure washer supply distributorship in rural Lincolnton, Ga. While vacationing the next week, anxiety over the new venture got the best of him: “I was just nauseated.

I knew nothing about it.”

He chuckles, remembering more broken machines on offer than working ones.

After sprucing up the bays and tossing laundry equipment to make way for new, higher-capacity models, “business took off,” Dawkins smiles, noting the changeover from gas-guzzling dryers and an inefficient water-heating system dropped his propane gas bill enough to cover the entire equipment note.

The novice owner became a fixture in the coin-op, wiping machines and emptying lint with his wife at closing time.

“I was scared to turn it loose and take my eyes off it,” Dawkins says of the nightly routine, a ritual he slowly weaned himself from over the course of the next 15 years.

Servicing industrial and commercial power wash supply accounts in eastern Georgia and western South Carolina allowed him to keep his ear to the ground, culminating in picking up two more www.americancoinop.com

Overseeing four operations and a supply house — plus a nightcap back at the flagship — filled his plate.

“I couldn’t do any more and was at my limit,” Dawkins says of his pre-dawn runs before heading to the office and a return trip to mop up.

ANOTHER SET OF HANDS Plateauing at age 53 was short-lived.

Enter Norman, 27 years his junior, who was out of college and working as a surveyor when he began courting Dawkins’ daughter, Katelyn. The young suitor with a good head on his shoulders caught her father’s eye as well and was tapped for a post at the distributorship.

“I said I’d never hire family, so I didn’t know where it might go. I hired him and it worked out great,” Dawkins remarks.

Within months, the couple wed and the new son-in-law was introduced to the rest of the family — that is, the sudsy chain. Along with daily store visits, he was handed one of his father-in-law’s cherished nights closing up shop.

At first, Norman didn’t fully embrace the self-service biz, but it quickly grew on him. The newfound passion for the sister industries was well-timed: With another set of hands, Dawkins was gearing up for

expansion, moving from his rural roots to metropolitan Augusta, a city better known for championship links than world-class laundry.

It was here that Peanut’s found fertile ground with the development of Dollar-coin payout coupled with a secondary inlet slot to change to quarters stands two freestanding alongside a single-point debit/credit card-to-token dispenser at the Peanut’s location in coin-ops, the first Augusta, Ga. taking shape in the 3,600-square-foot structure on a partially western enclave of Grovetown.

Dawkins characterized and made that coin-op more “bulletproof.” the operation as a “dump,” and says a The second Augusta area venture — a trusted car wash distributor advised him to “run.”

Norman persisted, spending countless hours studying the market and assuring the patriarch it was a winner. Reaching a meeting of the minds with the seller, he phoned up his father-in-law who was driving at the time and the deal was closed at the side of the road.

“He gave us the keys and we paid him a couple of weeks later,” Dawkins remembers.

The young partner put his heart and soul into the wash bays, getting them operational and earning back the patronage of residents in the bustling county seat west of Augusta.

The chain’s caricature of a smiling peanut holding two golden dollars is prominently displayed on the building exterior and has come to symbolize a value-oriented, streamlined operation, the owners say.

And while the site was too small for a new wash-and-dry, the same couldn’t be said for a shuttered Ryan’s Family Steakhouse he spotted sitting at the entrance to a bustling Walmart drawing patrons from miles around.

The 9,500-square-foot steakhouse was nearly triple the typical Peanut’s. But the chance to gain a foothold in a market that both felt was underserved could not be passed up.

COHEN into twin 48-square-foot, family-friendly folding tables.

NEW PAYMENT FORMAT With a handful of newly christened Peanut’s outlets coming online, a unique opportunity presented itself to employ a new payment format. The pair was convinced that whole dollar-vended washers and dryers priced in quarter increments — with the option of inserting both coins into all machines — was the path forward.

A rear-loading, four-hopper, dual validator changer to dispense dollar coins, enhanced with a dollar coin inlet slot to pay out four quarters, serves as Peanut’s central change-making station.

At the newest metro Augusta outlet, a supplemental, dedicated debit/credit cardto-token machine dispenses dollar-valued tokens for $5-$20 transactions, redeemable at any washer or dryer. Dawkins reports tokens account for up to 25% of weekly revenue, adding that the dollar token payment option is under consideration at other locations.

With operations spread over a 40-mile radius of the original outpost, including a side-by-side coin-op/car wash, as well as dedicated facilities, Dawkins and Norman

are in a unique position to observe the two self-service industries.

Dawkins reports car wash revenues have shown overall gains year-on-year for the past decade, with updated in-bay automatic equipment at selected sites giving traffic a shot in the arm. On the coin laundry side, volume increases are predicable, he says, except for an occasional one-month “blip” that soon corrects itself.

His first tandem has stood the test of time.

“They go good together. A lot of customers put their laundry in, get back in the car, wash and vacuum, pull around the building and put the clothes into the dryer and get it all done,” Dawkins observes, noting that Mother Nature pays a key role. “When the weather’s bad for one, it’s good for the other.”

Norman agrees: “If we get three to four days of rain, the car wash trade is down, but it only helps us out at the laundry,” he says while gesturing at the regulars going about their wash at the Thomson venue, remarking, “This never stops.”

At the renovated Thomson, Ga., outlet, all front-loader washer banks run perpendicular Working indoors to a rear dryer wall where the largest 50- and 80-pound tumblers are center stage and and having less flanked on both sides by 30-pound stack models.

concern for inclement weather has tipped the scales for the 30-year-old.

“At one time I leaned more toward car washes, but now it’s more toward laundry.”

He says his biggest challenge remains the fine art of customer relations, but discovered refunding redeemable tokens resolves most issues.

Both partners are within a half-hour’s drive of any location, and each answers the occasional 2 a.m. call.

“I used to just let it ring, but I’m married to his daughter and she stopped that,” Norman quips, a response met with laughter from Dawkins.

The two are especially proud of the brand identity.

“We’ve got a name out there,” Norman says, pointing out that patrons are drawn to the smiling peanut caricature holding two golden dollar coins, equating it with a value-oriented, streamlined operation.

Dawkins mentions that he hesitated tying his nickname to laundering, but now takes pride in building a chain on it. One thing he certainly expresses no reservations about is bringing his son-in-law into the fold: “If I’d have known a son-in-law would be that much help, I’d have wanted one sooner.”

KODROFF, SPYER EARN AAXON LAUNDRY AESTHETIC AWARDS Commercial laundry equipment distributor Aaxon Laundry Systems recently began presenting Laundry Aesthetic Awards to select regional customers “in recognition of their dedication toward operating an outstanding Laundromat.”

The first two recipients of this award are Phil Kodroff, owner of Laundromart in Hollywood, Fla., and Theo Spyer, owner of Laundromart in Oakland Park, Fla. The site of Kodroff’s Laundromat was originally a restaurant turned into a self-service laundry by a previous owner. The store eventually went downhill and that’s where Kodroff and Aaxon stepped in. Over the course of eight months, Kodroff and Aaxon consultant Arthur Lapon rebuilt the store into a sleek, upscale vended laundry.

“Phil Kodroff set his dream on opening a Laundromat in South Florida years ago and now here he is today, operating a successful laundry and winning awards!” says Lapon. “We’re very excited for him and his future.”

Spyer is a former Aaxon controller turned laundry owner. His Laundromart location, which opened (continued on page 48)

(continued from page 45) in fall 2016 in Oakland Park was the site of an existing, outdated laundry. He and Lapon worked together to transform the space into a modern, upscale vended laundry.

“I chose to open a laundry because I saw the great achievements of many laundry owners while at Aaxon,” says Spyer, who was employed by the distributor from 1996 to 2006. “And I sincerely enjoy providing a service to this community and speaking with my customer base.”

GULF STATES LAUNDRY MACHINERY WINS HUEBSCH REGIONAL AWARD Commercial laundry equipment distributor Gulf States Laundry Machinery Co. was recently recognized by equipment manufacturer Huebsch for top sales achievement over prior year in the Southern Region, the company says. The Houston office grew sales 21% over prior year, while maintaining a dominant presence in its territory.

“Gulf States continues to be a shining star for Huebsch,” says Kathryn Rowen, North American sales manager for Huebsch.

“The whole organization exudes a passion to serve customers at the highest level. They truly are leaders in their market.”

Started in 1984 by owners Harish and Pravin Parmar, Gulf States Laundry Machinery Co. is one of the largest distributors of vended and on-premises laundry equipment and drycleaning equipment in the United States, says Huebsch. The company also has an office in Atlanta.

“Gulf States and Huebsch has been a great partnership through the years,” Harish Parmar says. “We are proud to represent the brand in our markets.”

Pravin Parmar says that Gulf States identifies fully with the reputation Huebsch has created with its exceptional distributors.

“Our aim as a company has always been to be the best laundry equipment distributor in our area, and our success is linked directly to the loyalty of our customers,” he says.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR SELECTED FOR CLEAN 2019 IN NEW ORLEANS Shepard Exposition Services will be the general contractor at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans for the June 20-23, 2019, Clean Show, according to Joseph Ricci, chair of the Clean Executive Committee and president of TRSA, the association for linen, uniform and facility services.

Shepard is an Atlanta-based nationwide exhibition service provider that served as general contractor for the Clean Show in 2001 (New Orleans), 2005 (Orlando), 2007 (Las Vegas), 2011 (Las Vegas) and 2015 (Atlanta).

“After reviewing proposals from three qualified contractors, we felt that Shepard was the best fit for the Clean Show in New Orleans,” Ricci says. “Its experience with previous Clean Shows, and its unique concierge program that gives individual attention to the needs of each exhibitor are definitely a plus.”

Exhibit booth sales for Clean 2019 will open in late spring.

CLEC PROMOTES REESE TO SALES MANAGER Commercial laundry equipment distributor Commercial and Coin Laundry Equipment Co. (CLEC) has promoted Greg Reese to sales manager, the company reports. Reese has been with CLEC since 1997.

“Greg has been an asset to the CLEC sales organization since he started,” says company President Craig Dakauskas. “With our significant growth and acquisitions, we expect that Greg’s impact will be amplified in building and supporting the entire sales staff.”

Reese has served both the coin laundry and on-premises laundry markets in southern Greg Reese Alabama and the southern half of Mississippi.

Dozens of new investors have relied on his expertise to build their first vended laundries, CLEC says, and his track record of success, industry knowledge and communication skills have made him a trusted laundry industry resource in his territory.

In his new role, Reese will be responsible for directing the CLEC sales team in expanding its presence in existing markets, while also uncovering new opportunities.

“I am looking forward to making a positive impact on Commercial and Coin Laundry’s overall business for many years to come,” Reese says.

CLEC boasts a staff of more than 25 employees, as well as expansive equipment and parts inventories.

LAUNDRY PICKUP/DELIVERY SOFTWARE FIRM MARKS 1ST ANNIVERSARY Springboard, a cloud-based software management platform for laundry owners, is celebrating its first year in business. Since its launch in January 2017, Springboard has licensed its software to more than 60 store owners in 23 states, the company says.

“The feedback and growth we have achieved in our first year is tremendous,” says John MacKrell, founder of Springboard. “There is a growing trend to offer pickup and delivery services as an additional revenue source for Laundromat operators.

“As Laundromat owners, we are best positioned to take advantage of the increasing popularity of outsourcing the home laundry chore,” he adds. “We have the equipment, the employees and the know-how to make this work.”

Springboard has no plans to slow down in 2018.

“We made strategic hires in the second half of 2017, which will position us well to provide top-notch service to our licensees going forward,” MacKrell explains. “Our digital marketing and customer service teams are well-positioned to handle additional growth. By supporting our customers with these specific services, it allows owners to focus on providing outstanding laundry service.”

On the technology side, Springboard has incorporated some new software tools that were suggested by existing users, according to MacKrell. In addition, the company says it will roll out a new software update in early spring that will expand its capabilities. ACO www.americancoinop.com
