Law / Laundromats in Poland? Good business venture or not? [90]
I don't know if the people that claim everyone has a washing machine in their flat are Polish or actually live in Poland because very few people in my family have one (or people that I know in Poland). At most they might have a small washing machine-no dryer. Other than that people do their laundry at home in the sink and not because they want to. I think it would be a good business venture. Right now there are places that do your laundry for you but I have to wonder if you could realize a cost saving (as a customer) by doing the wash yourself at a center versus paying someone else to do it for you. If the laundromat offered free wi-fi you could surf the net while your clothes wash and dry. Shelling out a couple hundred złoty all at once (not to mention the cost of energy) seems a lot harder than a few złoty a month to do laundry (not to mention being able to dry it).
