Many people interested in owning a laundromat business are trying to escape their 9-5 job and take back some freedom in their life. However, that doesn't always happen right away. And some people actually enjoy their full-time jobs and just want to start a business on the side, make some extra income, or benefit from the tax advantages of owning laundromats.
Whichever camp you're in, I've been asked many times, "Can I own laundromats while working full-time?" Lauren Berkoski joins us on the show to tell you it's possible, tell you how she did it, and to fill you in on the challenges and opportunities. She doesn't pull any punches in this revealing interview.
