In this episode we'll go behind the scenes of the laundromat business with Avi Beinhacker, founder and CEO of Laundromat Universe. Laundry is an essential service, particularly in urban and apartment-centric housing areas where residents may not have their own laundry facilities. We'll go behind the scenes on how Avi began his thought process on researching various entrepreneurial opportunities, and how he came to settle on the coin laundry business (although the coin part is being replaced with electronic payments) and executed his first acquisition.
