Gettin' to Know Kate & George Wolfe | Owners of Laundry Lane

This week, we talk with George and Kate Wolfe, a local, NEPA couple who own the family-operated Laundry Lane with locations in Edwardsville and Wilkes-Barre. They discuss transforming laundromats from the old "dirty and unsafe" stigma into clean, safe, modern spaces with cameras, customer support, card/app payment systems, and large-capacity machines, plus plans for pickup-and-delivery service. George and Kate share how hands-on ownership, learning the industry, and investing in upgrades (like lighting and payment tech) drive customer trust, along with challenges such as equipment and parts costs, finding good employees, and relying on distributors. They also describe buying their first laundromat with minimal out-of-pocket cash, purchasing the buildings, and building community-focused service.To keep up with Laundry Lane, give them a follow on Facebook.If you or someone you know wants to be featured on our podcast, visit our website!
