Innovation laundry revolution

Self-service laundries are innovative spaces where customers can independently wash and dry their clothes, providing convenience and time savings. Express Laundry Center, a prominent player in the laundry industry, commenced its journey in the 1990s as a modest addition to an existing self-service laundromat. Over the years, it has transformed into a global powerhouse, strategically establishing laundries across North America. The brand's mission from the outset has been to revolutionize the washing experience, a goal that became tangible with the integration of commercial-grade equipment. This pivotal move drastically reduced customer service time from a cumbersome 2 hours to an impressive 45 minutes. Today, Express Laundry Center symbolizes not just efficiency but the epitome of modern and convenient laundry services.
