Jordan Berry was a pastor for 15 years and decided to buy a laundromat as he transitioned out of full-time miniwhta stry. His experience did not get off to a good start. Instead of replacing his salary, he lost $2,000/mo for over a year. In his quest to find other laundromat owners & operators to advise him, he couldn't find much out there. This drove Jordan to create Laundromat Resource as an education and community platform for laundromat owners and future owners to learn, share best practices, and connect with each other so that others don't have to go through what he did to create profitable laundromat businesses. Follow Jordan
