Now that I've gotten through all of those brands, I have the pleasure of introducing Candice Bourne of Candy Clean. Wow. Thank you. That is awesome.

I was going to say, you run a cleaning company, right?
It's a coin laundry. Coin laundry, even cooler. Yes, it's a couple of coin laundries. And... I had three. I sold two. So now I'm down to one because I'm doing other things.
Very cool. So you're ascending and evolving. Yes. So how does one begin a coin laundry business? Is it the first? You got to buy one machine, don't you?
You got to find a store first. And then from there, you just venture out and try to find more stores. But how do you begin? You start with a dream. You start with a dream.

Chapter 4: What challenges did Candice face while building her laundromat?
They'll wash them themselves, they'll dry them themselves, and then they'll fold them themselves. So that's the walk-ins. So then we had a limited amount of wash and fold service. The wash and fold service is where they'll drop them off to us and we'll do everything and then we'll just text them or call them and say, hey, it's ready.
So that part of the business, they did a very small amount of numbers. And then I went in and I increased the numbers. Actually, that's what I focused on growing. So I did that. And then I expanded it to ironing services where, you know, we'll have a lot of people come in and they want their uniforms ironed. And then I expanded it to dry cleaning services.
And then I expanded it to pickup and delivery. Right on.
I was just going to say, yeah.
We have all those services.
Before I got my own on-site washer and dryer, thank God, I was doing the app thing, the wash and dry app. And I put in a big green bag and some stranger.
Yes.
But I can see the decline of that happening quickly because the first time I signed up, I got my code and a green truck showed up and it was on brand. And the guy comes up with his costume. Hey, sir. A couple of weeks later, it's some random schmo on a red truck. Is this it? And I'm like, well, they cut back on delivery. No, you're good, honey. They cut back on delivery somehow.
They cut back on the culture because at the end of the day, it's just someone picking up your dirty laundry.
