Here are a few frequently \nasked questions to help you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much do I need to invest?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your investment depends on many factors, including laundromat size \nand the amount financed. The average up-front investment ranges from \n$100,000-$300,000. Speed Queen\u00ae&nbsp;financial services lets you finance up \nto 70% of the total project cost, with a 30% investment requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I build a new store or buy an existing one?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both business investment models have proven successful, and each \nprovides its own unique advantages. Your Speed Queen representative will\n present you with the pros and cons of each and help you find the right \noption for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much space do I need?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laundromats range in size anywhere between 1,000 and 5,000 sq. ft.<sup>(10)<\/sup> The average facility is 2,170 sq. ft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many machines will I need?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of machines you need largely depends on the size of your \nstore. Your Speed Queen representative will help you determine the right\n number of machines and equipment mix, but in general you\u2019ll want to \nhave a combination of between 40 and 100 washers and dryers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should my laundromat\u2019s hours of operation be?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your business hours are up to you. Typical laundromat hours are from 6am to 11pm, with about 20% choosing a 24-hour model <sup>(10)<\/sup>. And since most laundromats don\u2019t require a large staff, longer hours aren\u2019t an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Location Is Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align:center\">When searching for your laundromat location, here are some top things to consider to help your business be more successful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/speedqueencommercial.com\/en-international\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/invest05.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/speedqueencommercial.com\/en-international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2019\/04\/invest05.png 300w, https:\/\/speedqueencommercial.com\/en-international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2019\/04\/invest05-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choose the right neighborhood:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>35% of the residents rent vs. own<\/li><li>Average household size is 2.3 and above<\/li><li>Average household income level below $35k per year<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/speedqueencommercial.com\/en-international\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/invest06.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/speedqueencommercial.com\/en-international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2019\/04\/invest06.png 300w, https:\/\/speedqueencommercial.com\/en-international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2019\/04\/invest06-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choose the right storefront:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>High-traffic laundromats typically have storefronts with:<\/li><li>High visibility<\/li><li>Plenty of dedicated parking<\/li><li>Located near grocery stores, convenience stores and auto parts stores<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n     <div class=\"background-video\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/speedqueencommercial.com\/en-international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2019\/04\/financinf-made-easy.jpg);\">\n            <a  class=\"button-arrow button-video\" data-modal=\"modal-video\">\n                <span class=\"icon\">\n                    <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>\r\n<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 19.0.0, SVG Export Plug-In .
