Services / Sell Your Laundromat
Sell your laundromat to a buyer who reads the machine mix.
RockHaven Capital buys laundromats directly from their owners.
The machines are the business here. Their age and their remaining life get read before anyone talks about the store.
Who We Buy From
The laundromats we buy
A laundromat earns from self-service machines and from services built around them. We price both parts, and we show each one on its own line.
Our range fits established single stores and small multi-store groups. A store with a handful of machines usually sits below the revenue range we buy in.
Self-service laundromats
Coin and card machines serve customers who wash their own loads. Turn counts by machine tell us how hard each row works.
Wash-and-fold operations
Drop-off laundry adds service revenue on top of the machines. Commercial accounts for local businesses can steady that line further.
Pickup and delivery routes
Routes bring in customers who never visit the store. Route growth counts most when stops cluster close together.
Hybrid stores with attendants
Attendants keep machines turning and handle drop-off work between peaks. A staffed store reads differently from an unattended one at the same revenue.

Five things we check first
A laundromat proves its cash flow through its turn counts and its utility bills. These five checks show us whether both agree with each other.
-
Revenue of $1M to $10M a year
Stores in that band are our market. A store in that range runs enough machines to support attendants and a real repair budget.
-
Cash flow of $300K and up
The tax returns have to prove it. Machine collections should tie to deposits and payment records without unexplained gaps.
-
Equipment age and remaining life
Washers and dryers are the asset in this business. We read the age and condition of every row, and we note what replacement will cost in the next cycle.
-
A payment mix customers trust
Coin, card, and app payments each leave a different record. A modern payment mix makes collections easier to verify and easier to grow.
-
A lease with years left to run
Most laundromats lease their premises rather than own them. We read the lease term and the renewal options early, and we check what the rent does at renewal.

Why Owners Talk To Us
A direct buyer changes the conversation
Laundromat owners usually hear from equipment dealers and local operators first. Here is how a direct sale differs.
-
We are the buyer, not a broker
You talk to the firm that would own your store. Your turn counts and lease terms are not circulated during a public marketing process.
One conversation with the buyer, not a parade of strangers through your business. -
Your attendants keep the store running
Customers trust the attendant who knows their routine. In most cases your attendants stay in place after a sale.
In most cases, the people who helped you build it keep their jobs. -
Machines priced on real turns
We price what the machines actually earn rather than the busiest week of the year. Verified turns are the number that matters.
-
Utility costs read in the open
Water, sewer, and gas decide what a turn is worth after costs. We show how those bills moved the number, line by line.
The listed route, by the numbers
Listing a laundromat tells every operator in town your turns and your utility costs. The figures below show the usual cost of going to market.
