Build Your Own Laundry Business - Join America's First National
Laundry Network
Become part of a rapidly expanding, asset-light business model
backed by the trusted Kathy Ireland brand. Choose your level -
Regional Operator, Area Operator, or Neighborhood Concierge - and
build a business that pays for years to come.
A $40B+ Industry Ripe for Transformation
Laundry is essential, recession-resistant, and growing fast -
especially in the on-demand delivery space. Americans spend over
$40 billion annually on laundry services, yet no national provider
has solved the problem of scale, consistency, or brand trust.
That's where Kathy Ireland Laundry comes in. We are building the
first unified, coast-to-coast laundry network powered by trained,
supported local operators and a trusted global lifestyle brand.
This is your opportunity to join a movement that's transforming an
entire industry.
The market is massive. The timing is perfect. The infrastructure is
ready. All we need now are the right operators to bring this vision
to life in communities across America.
Why Our Model Wins: A Smarter Way to Scale
Traditional laundry businesses demand high capital investment,
brick-and-mortar locations, heavy equipment, and years of payback.
Gig platforms lack proper training and consistency. Laundromats
can't efficiently run logistics or uphold national quality
standards across multiple locations.
Asset-Light Entry
No expensive facilities, equipment, or long-term leases required to
get started
Rapid Market Expansion
Launch quickly and scale efficiently with proven systems and
support
Local Support
Operators backed by regional leadership and national
infrastructure
Predictable Revenue
Multiple income streams create stable, recurring cash flow
Our tiered operator model solves all of it. You get national brand
marketing, shared technology platforms, comprehensive training
programs, and strong long-term earning potential.
This is your opportunity to build not just income, but real equity
and multi-tier royalties as the brand grows nationwide.
