Ms Lu was intrigued by the coin laundry business after seeing
several successful stores in Jongi, a city 50 km south of Taipei,
Taiwan. So enamored with the coin laundry concept, Ms Lu sold her
coffee shop and opened Chin Chien Laundry in mid 2007 in
Taiwan.
Chin Chien features all Speed Queen equipment, including: five
toploading washers; three 13.6 kg frontloaders; two 18 kg
frontloaders; two single-load stack dryers; two 13.6 stack
tumblers; and one 20.4 kg stack tumbler. The store is open 24
hours, has an attendant on duty most of the time and has installed
security cameras.
In the one year she's been in business, Ms Lu has been pleased
with her profits as well as the freedom she has to come and go
during the day. The early success of this store has led her to look
for a location to open a second laundry.
Chin Chien Laundry's equipment was installed by SPD Machinery, a
Speed Queen distributor located in Taipei, Taiwan.
