Coin Laundry Association

Coin Laundry Association

Established in 1960, the Coin Laundry Association (CLA) is a not-for-profit trade organization. Its mission is to provide education and service to entrepreneurs in the coin laundry industry, protect their business interests and promote public awareness of the industry’s exemplary services.

Today, there are between 30,000 and 35,000 coin laundries in the U.S. that provide more than 7 million American households with the necessary equipment to clean their clothes on a weekly basis. This $5 billion a year industry is in the midst of a boom. Businesses are building mega-stores with anywhere from 5,000 to 9,000 square feet (840 m2) that provide a variety of ancillary services, such as wash-dry-fold, dry-cleaning, tailoring, shoe repair, etc. to cater to a busy American lifestyle that dictates a need for these essential time-saving services. In addition, new laundries have expanded with extras including: card-technology, tanning beds, mailbox rental, shipping services, Internet access and many more conveniences.

CLA is a vertical association boasting membership from all segments of the coin laundry industry: store owners, manufacturers and distributors. CLA strives to help every member maximize its potential in the coin laundry business while moving the industry into its next phase of progress and entrepreneurship.

The association is also the editor of PlanetLaundry.com - the only Web site in the laundry industry that provides daily natural gas and propane prices, blogs, video tutorials and podcasts.
