Tide laundromats: do they have an unfair advantage or how is it competing against them?
I'm doing research about the industry to educate myself before jumping in. Today I discovered Tide has entered the industry with their own Tide Laudromats and Tide Cleaners.
There isn't one near me / in the areas I'm scouting. I'm curious to hear from owners who have one they compete with: when did it open? Do you feel they have an unfair advantage maybe from their capital, or their connections or brand name?
If you don;t have one near you, have you visited any, what do you think their advantage besides the recognizable brand is?
It's so interesting to me because on one hand I'm hearing a lot of owners say the industry is starting to be saturated and indeed there's a ton of laudromats in Florida where I'm looking, and on the other, here's a giant laundry detergent brand from P&G, who's also opening laundromats and cleaners... which tells me maybe there's still opportunities?
