How Private Equity Is Buying Up Laundromats

Episode 73 of The Buyout Show with Fexingo dives into private equity's quiet consolidation of the laundromat industry. Lucas and Luna break down how firms like Cion Investment and TPG are rolling up mom-and-pop wash-and-fold shops, why the math works — think cash flow, real estate, and recession-proof demand — and what it means for the local owner who just wants to sell. Specific numbers: a single store can generate $50,000 to $80,000 in annual EBITDA, and roll-ups are targeting 200-plus-location platforms. Plus, a look at the operational playbook: centralizing maintenance, installing card readers, and adding pickup-and-delivery. If you've ever wondered why your corner laundromat suddenly has a slick app, this episode explains the capital behind it. #PrivateEquity #Laundromats #BusinessAcquisitions #RollUps #CionInvestment #TPG #EBITDA #CashFlow #RealEstate #MomAndPop #Consolidation #PickupAndDelivery #CardReaders #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow #FexingoBusiness #Finance #MergersAndAcquisitions Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
