If you are looking for information on the WaveMax Laundry franchise business opportunity, WaveMax Laundry franchises or WaveMax Laundry franchising, then you have come to the right place.
WaveMAX® is the franchise for you. WaveMAX® has developed a system to change the way coin laundry locations are built, perceived, and operated. We are looking for professionals that want to build a multi-unit franchise empire but still have quality of life in running the business.
The industry is made up of Mom and Pop operators who are taken advantage of by the washer and dryer distributors. Their sole purpose is to sell equipment to these non-business savvy operators. The industry has no brand, no business sophistication, and massive turnover from operator to operator which is by design from the distributors. Distributors want to over build and over sell you on equipment. When they do this, the operator fails and because the distributor financed the equipment, they take the store back and re-sell it to another victim. We want to work side by side with those who qualify to create a business that is set up for success from day one. We do this through our knowledge of the industry and preferred distributor pricing on equipment that we pass down to the franchisee. WaveMAX will change the way the coin laundry industry operates and we are looking for a network of business minded people to go on this journey with us.
Since 2012 WaveMAX® Coin Laundry based in Jacksonville FL has focused its business model on developing the prototypical market & store that can scale and sustain a national chain of coin only laundromats. The Franchise Development is being led by Dennis Mulgannon who successfully built Home Care Assistance, Junk King & The Flying Locksmiths into National Franchise Brands.
Location, Location, Location.
Right Location + Right Size Store + Right Equipment Mix At Preferred Distributor Discount Pricing = Maximum Profits
We have developed our own proprietary approach to discerning the best possible real estate play for our locations. We currently have franchisor approved locations waiting for new franchise owners!
WaveMAX® "SECRET SAUCE"
We build and operate the stores for efficiency. Efficiency = profits. Why? Because extra equipment and non-essential equipment costs money, causes higher rent expenses and extra maintenance costs.
We are looking for business partners. Not someone who is looking at opening a store and bleeding it dry. We want our owners to take pride in their investment like we have done at the Corporate store. (We never get tired of hearing how clean and professional our store is compared to the rest of our competitors) A clean, safe, and fully attended store maximizes the store’s potential and makes it a destination within its market.
This industry is known for old, tired, dirty "ZOMBIEMATS". We want Franchise Partners that will faithfully maintain our brand!
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
