  "description": "A typical US laundromat grosses $15,000–$45,000 a month and nets $4,000–$15,000 after utilities, rent, and attendant labour. Utilities alone consume 20–30% of revenue, which is why machine efficiency and water rates decide profitability more than location foot traffic does.",

    "context": "Laundromats are a utility-arbitrage business. Revenue per machine is fairly predictable — turns per day times price per turn — so the variance between a good store and a bad one sits almost entirely in the cost stack: water and sewer rates, gas price, machine age, and lease terms. Replacing 15-year-old machines with high-efficiency units routinely cuts utility cost by a quarter, which on a 25% utility load is a direct 6-point margin gain. Wash-dry-fold and commercial contracts add revenue but convert a semi-absentee business into a staffed one.",
