Business Description
This offering represents a high-quality, absentee-run laundromat located in the East San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California. The business was intentionally designed and built as a long-duration, infrastructure-like cash flow asset rather than a traditional owner-operated retail business.

The store commenced operations in January 2024 following a full, ground-up buildout and installation of new Dexter commercial equipment. The facility is freestanding and purpose-built for laundromat operations, comprising approximately 4,300 square feet with strong accessibility and on-site parking. All major equipment is owned outright and will convey free and clear at closing, materially reducing capital expenditure risk for a new owner.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the business generated Net Operating Income (NOI) of $421,367. Financials are clean and transparent, with true operating expenses clearly segregated from owner-level, financing, and non-operating items. As a result, reported NOI reflects property-level operating performance without reliance on discretionary add-backs or normalization adjustments.

Operations are genuinely absentee, requiring approximately five hours per week of owner involvement. Day-to-day execution is handled by trained staff supported by established systems, modern card-based payment technology, and integrated monitoring controls. This structure allows for continuity of operations without the need for hands-on ownership.

The asset benefits from long-duration site control through a lease structure providing 30 years of total control, including extension options, with CPI-based rent escalations. This lease profile is uncommon among single-location laundromat assets and provides meaningful downside protection against relocation and redevelopment risk.

Recreating a comparable operation today would require securing a suitable freestanding site, navigating zoning and utility constraints, and funding a full commercial equipment installation at materially higher costs than when this store was built. The combination of near-new infrastructure and long-duration lease control allows a buyer to acquire stabilized cash flow at a cost and risk profile that is difficult to replicate through new construction.

The asking price reflects a 5.9× multiple of trailing NOI, supported by the durability of the asset, minimal foreseeable capital expenditure requirements, and stable demand fundamentals. This opportunity is not positioned as a value-add or turnaround scenario; optional growth initiatives may be pursued at the buyer’s discretion but are not required to support current performance.

To protect employees, customers, and ongoing operations, the identity and exact location of the business are intentionally withheld at this stage. Additional details, including the business name, address, and full photo set, will be provided to qualified buyers following execution of a non-disclosure agreement, review of the Confidential Information Memorandum, and a brief qualification discussion with ownership.

This offering is best suited for buyers seeking a high-quality, low-volatility operating asset with long-term durability and minimal operational complexity.

Facilities & Assets
The business operates from a freestanding, purpose-built retail facility in the East Bay Area, designed specifically for modern laundromat operations and customer flow. The facility benefits from excellent visibility, accessibility, and on-site parking.

All equipment was installed new and placed into service in January 2024. The store is equipped with a near-new Dexter commercial washer and dryers, a modern card-based operating system, and integrated monitoring and control software, minimizing downtime maintenance risk, and support long-term operations.
Market Outlook / Competition
The business serves a dense East Bay Area trade area characterized by stable residential demand and limited new supply. Barriers to entry include zoning restrictions, utility infrastructure requirements, and high replacement costs. Competition consists primarily of older, retrofit laundromats with shorter lease terms and aging equipment, reinforcing the asset’s competitive position.
Opportunities for Growth
The business offers optional upside through continued price optimization, expanded utilization during off-peak hours, and the potential introduction of additional services such as wash-and-fold. None of these initiatives are required to support current performance, allowing a buyer to benefit from growth opportunities without assuming execution risk.
