Since our founding in 2016, we have operated over 250 coin laundries including Baluko Laundry Place and partner brands. It is said that the penetration rate of washing machines in Japanese households is almost 100%, but the demand for washing large items such as cotton futons is increasing due to the effectiveness of washing large professional equipment, reducing the burden of housework and saving time. Due to this increase, the social role of coin laundry is once again attracting attention and the need for it is increasing. We will continue to research ways to enrich laundry and advance our business so that we can provide services that satisfy and patronize people across the country.
