Jon and Erin Carpenter said they never expected to own a laundromat business, but all of that changed when they embarked on a cross-country road trip.
The couple said as they utilized laundromats across the country to do their own laundry, they saw what a vital role the businesses played in the local communities.
The Carpenters said that in many laundromats, they'd see parents and grandparents who were there all day washing multiple loads of laundry, with kids by their side. "We had no plans to get into the laundromat [business]," he said."When we moved to Charleston, we knew we wanted to get involved in the community somehow, and I've always been entrepreneurial with doing renovations on houses and new projects, and we just love building things, creating things and particularly things that there's life in them, but people can't see it, so I just went into this rabbit hole and became obsessed with laundromats.
The couple said they purchased the laundromat last July, and spent the next six months watching how people used the space and learning from the previous owner the ins and outs of running a laundromat.
