Győr in northwestern Hungary is known as the city of encounters. It is located at the confluence of three rivers and is the center of the golden triangle consisting of Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest.
Situated on a major road in Central Europe, Győr is a dynamic city with high demand for laundry services.
The owner, Mr. Tóth, recognized this need and in December 2023, in collaboration with our Hungarian partner, Karoly, launched Washbox - a popular self-service laundry located in the heart of the city.
Challenge: A dynamic city requires a modern self-service laundry
In the city center, a self-service laundry is an ideal business opportunity. The area is densely populated with entrepreneurs, making it a high-traffic location and a great environment for this type of business.
The owner sees this strategic location as a major advantage for the project, as it allows customers to make the most of their time while their laundry is being washed and dried.
"They can have lunch, enjoy a coffee, visit a beauty salon, or take care of their other obligations in the city center," Mr. Tóth says.
Solution: LG Professional for outstanding results
In addition to a prime location, success requires high-quality, modern laundry equipment.
"With LG Professional, even the busiest places, such as a self-service laundry in the city center, operate with ease. Thanks to advanced technologies and fast washing and drying programs, users do not have to waste time waiting in lines," says Mr. Tóth.
Therefore, the Washbox is equipped with the following combination of devices and accessories:
- 3x LG Giant professional washing machine (10 kg capacity)
- 1x LG Titan professional washing machine (15 kg capacity)
- 3x LG Giant professional dryer (10 kg capacity)
- 1x LG Titan professional dryer (14 kg capacity)
- BW automatic dosing pumps
When making a payment, clients have various options available. Thanks to the ability to easily connect LG professional devices to different payment systems, clients can choose between paying with coins or using contactless payment with bank cards.
"Washbox puts a lot of effort into marketing. In addition to making regular posts on Facebook and Instagram, they also organize contests where winners can receive free washing and drying. They also have a loyalty program where regular users can get free washing and drying every 11th visit."
Results: Favorite ally for fast and efficient laundry washing
Local residents and visitors quickly recognized the advantages of a self-service laundry.
Apartment owners who run a race with frequent changes of guests, students who cannot wait for the next visit home to freshen their clothes, entrepreneurs like restaurateurs, hairdressers, and beauticians, who are dealing with large amounts of laundry that need to be done quickly, residents who do not have dryers in their homes, causing them headaches in the winter, etc.
"Washbox has become their favorite ally for fast and efficient laundry washing," says Mr. Tóth.
The owner is very pleased with his decision to open a self-service laundry: "With LG professional devices, everything runs smoothly! I have no worries, and I have secured a stable source of income!”
