Property Features and Assets:
This business has a significant, dominant, and market leading presence within a major Midwest market. The main facility is a company-owned 29,874 square foot laundry processing plant which houses the flagship retail location and corporate offices. The plant is located in a business center (including favorable grand-fathered zoning) which is nestled in a highly, desirable residential district situated close to downtown, prime shopping, and popular eateries. The location offers superb highway accessibility enabling convenient access to the entire metro customer base while supporting the 11 in-store retail locations (which are leased properties). The company-owned building is on a 3/4 acre land parcel. Also included in the offering is a property adjacent to the processing plant real estate which serves as valuable employee parking. Assets = $3,500,000
Market Competition and Expansion:
The laundry and dry/carpet cleaning industry in this market is characterized by a multitude of smaller, somewhat fragmented players and 6-7 medium sized, multi-store brand names. The offered company is by far and away the clear market leader in all key performance measures -- tenure, brand equity, size, geographic footprint, service menu, financial results, pricing power, and owner loyalty. The race for a distant second place are companies 25-30% the size of the market leader. While the company has diversified its offerings over time, there are both: 1) service line extensions and 2) adjacent market geographic expansion options. The company has strong ownership of 'residential and commercial cleaning' branding in this market which opens up expansion options into areas such as maid services, window cleaning, automotive detailing, or power washing, etc. Geographic expansion into large adjacent territories via leveraging of the existing service offerings and present brand equity is also another growth avenue.
