What does it take to buy your first laundromat—and then grow beyond traditional self-service laundry?
In this episode of The Laundromat Millionaire Show, Dave and Carla Menz interview laundromat owner and entrepreneur Alyssa Mouton about her journey into the laundry industry and the lessons she learned while purchasing her first laundromat.
The conversation then turns to one of the biggest growth opportunities available to laundry business owners: government laundry contracts.
Alyssa shares practical insights into finding and securing government contracts for laundry pickup and delivery services. She discusses how laundromat owners can identify contract opportunities, prepare their businesses to work with government agencies, navigate the bidding process, and build the systems needed to fulfill large commercial laundry accounts.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How Alyssa purchased her first laundromat
• Challenges new laundromat owners should prepare for
• Why government contracts can be valuable for laundry businesses
• Where to find government laundry contract opportunities
• How to prepare for the government bidding process
• What agencies look for when selecting laundry service providers
• How certifications and registrations may help your business qualify
• Common mistakes to avoid when submitting a government bid
• How to price laundry pickup and delivery contracts profitably
• The operational systems needed to service large accounts
• Why persistence and relationship-building matter when pursuing contracts
Whether you currently own a laundromat, operate a laundry pickup and delivery business, or are looking for new ways to increase commercial laundry revenue, this episode offers actionable advice for expanding into government and institutional accounts.
Government contracts can create recurring revenue, larger order volume, and long-term growth—but winning them requires preparation, professionalism, and a clear understanding of the procurement process.
