OPENING A LAUNDROMAT IN CANADA: EQUIPMENT AND PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Opening a laundromat in Canada requires careful planning, from choosing commercial equipment and designing an efficient layout to ensuring adequate utilities, machine capacity, and convenient payment options.
Harco can assist entrepreneurs planning a new laundromat in Canada with site design and equipment selection, installation, equipment training and ongoing support. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, the equipment mix and store layout can be planned around the available space, customer needs and the owner’s operational goals.
We have a large selection of commercial washers, dryers and dry-cleaning products from industry-leading brands like Maytag and Whirlpool. With decades of experience serving clients in Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Provinces we help Canadian businesses thrive in the competitive laundry market.
WHEN HIGH CAPACITY MEANS HIGH QUALITY
Large-capacity laundry machines are essentials for several businesses and institutions to run smoothly: laundromats and more. These washers are used repeatedly, every day, and more often, for heavy-duty loads. Therefore, the demands in terms of performance are quite high. At Harco, we simply offer the best equipment, both durable and showing superior quality results over the long term. We also provide our clients with multiple services, from designing the most appropriate laundry room to training their staff.
COIN LAUNDRY MACHINES
At Harco, we carry a multitude of top- and front-loading coin-operated laundry machines suitable for apartment buildings, condos, laundromats and more. Whether you want a simple coin-slide or coin-drop model or the latest high-capacity microprocessor model, we have what you need.
We carry industry-leading brands you can trust, including Maytag, Whirlpool, Domus and Speed Queen. Whether you’re looking for low water consumption, durability, easy access for maintenance, security of use or esthetics, these brands have what you need.
CASHLESS OR CARD-OPERATED LAUNDRY
-
Coin-operated machines offer a familiar, simple payment option without card-processing fees, but require operators to collect and manage coins.
-
Cashless systems allow customers to pay by card or other electronic methods. They can simplify bookkeeping, track machine usage, reduce coin handling, and potentially lower theft risks. However, they may involve processing fees, upfront costs, and a learning curve for some customers.
-
A hybrid system offers the best of both options, allowing customers to pay with coins or electronic methods to suit their preferences.
WET/DRY CLEANING PRODUCTS
We carry a variety of wet- and dry-cleaning equipment to keep your clothes, linen and towels in great shape while minimizing the use of electricity and harsh chemicals. Whether you need a laundry press, bagger, tensioning unit, shirt and form finisher or cuff and collar ironer, Harco has what you need.
WET CLEANING PRODUCTS
The perfect complement to the coin/card laundry retail store is the professional clothing care of a wet cleaning operation. These services fit nicely with wash, dry and fold services and provide your customer base a “One-Stop Shop” for all their laundry needs. We carry a variety of wet-cleaning equipment to keep your delicate and “dry-clean only” fabrics in great shape while minimizing the use of electricity and harsh chemicals. Whether you need a complete plant or just a laundry press, bagger, tensioning unit, shirt and form finisher or cuff and collar ironer, Harco has what you need.
