How a Local Dry Cleaner Sold at 30x EBITDA with Route Data

from The Buyer & Seller Podcast with Fexingo: Business Brokers, Exits, and Private Sales Explained · host Fexingo

Episode 75 of The Buyer & Seller Podcast. Lucas and Luna break down the sale of a small dry cleaning chain in St. Louis that achieved a 30x EBITDA multiple — triple the industry average. The secret wasn't fancy technology; it was a decade of handwritten route data and a simple digital log that proved customer retention and predictable drop-off patterns. We trace how the owner turned a mundane operation into a data-rich asset that attracted a private buyer willing to pay a premium. Plus, why route-based businesses are the quiet stars of the lower-middle market. Every number, every step, explained. #DryCleanerSale #30xEBITDA #RouteData #BusinessBrokers #SmallBusinessExit #LowerMiddleMarket #EBITDAMultiple #CustomerRetentionData #StLouisBusiness #ServiceBusiness #RecurringRevenue #DataDrivenValuation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #BuyerAndSellerPodcast #PrivateSale #ExitPlanning #BusinessValuation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
