Secrets of Buying and Owning Laundromats
Brian Brunckhorst entered the laundry business when he and his wife purchased their first laundromat, Advantage Laundry, in 2003.  Eight years later, Brian is an industry veteran dedicated to teaching other coin laundry entrepreneurs best practices and strategies to improve operations through his industry resources, www.laundromatinsider.org, and www.buyalaundromat.com.    Brunckhorst and his wife currently own and manage Advantage Laundry's four San Francisco Bay area locations.  Prior to entering the laundry business, Brunckhorst leveraged his technical skills working as an engineer at a variety of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.  Using his technical knowledge to his advantage, Brunckhorst has incorporated equipment with controls that enable him to effectively run his stores remotely.   In addition to a more flexible schedule, these controls allow him to diagnose and deal with equipment issues before they become problems, accurately measure machine generated revenue and monitor store traffic and coin boxes for added security.    Brunckhorst is widely respected as a coin laundry expert and is very active in the Coin Laundry Association (CLA).  He was a featured panelist at the semi-annual Clean Show tradeshow, was elected to the board of directors of the Golden State Coin Laundry Association and presented the "Design to Sell" seminar at the CLA's 2010 Educational Conference in Baltimore, MD.  Brunckhorst also co-authored a book titled, "Seize Your Opportunities - How to Live Your Life Without Limits," and is now releasing his latest book, "Secrets of Buying and Owning a Laundromats."
