Ready to Launch Your Own Laundry Business? With LG Commercial Washers, You'll Have the Power to Start Strong

With the growing demand for quick and convenient services, laundromats have become a popular choice for busy individuals in both urban and rural areas. Limited space in homes, along with the increasing need for accessible laundry solutions, has led more people to rely on self-service laundromats for efficient laundry options that fit their fast-paced lifestyles. To meet this demand, entrepreneurs like Joy Gadrinab of Skilcraft Sales Corporation turn to LG Commercial Washers, known for their durability, efficiency, and smart technology, helping laundromat owners stay ahead.

As one of the pioneers in self-service laundromats in Mindanao, Joy shares how LG Commercial Washers have played a crucial role in her business’s growth. From overcoming initial challenges to expanding her operations, she credits LG for its reliability and performance in supporting her long-term success. As the founder of Skilcraft Sales Corporation, Joy leveraged her background as a Chemical Engineer and her experience in industrial maintenance to diversify into selling LG Commercial Laundry Machines. Her technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit have been key in driving the success of her laundromat business.

Every business journey begins with a challenge. And for Joy, launching Splash Coinwash Laundry under Skilcraft Sales Corp. was no exception. What started as a simple observation turned into a thriving business opportunity just by filling a gap in the market. “We started Splash Coinwash Laundry because there were no laundromats in our area, especially the self-service kind of laundromats, only traditional laundromats,” she shared. Recognizing the potential, she and her team took a leap of faith. “We saw an opportunity and became the first to introduce LG Commercial Laundry Machines in our area. It was even coin-operated at the time.”

“Our main setback was our startup capital,” Joy admitted. But instead of letting it hold them back, they took a smart, strategic approach. “We overcame this setback by starting with 2 sets of machines and slowly reinvesting our income to add more sets of machines until we managed to open more branches.” Through patience, perseverance, and a clear vision, what started as a small operation steadily grew into a thriving business. Today, all Splash Coinwash branches have been renamed to Laundry Lounge, with 6 fully operational lounges in Cagayan de Oro City, Opol, El Salvador City, Iligan City, Talisay City, and Cebu City. A 7th branch is nearly finished in Tres de Abril, Cebu, while expansion continues with upcoming lounges in Surigao City, Pagadian City, and Lapu-Lapu City.

Joy believes that starting a laundry business offers great potential for growth and income. “We chose to open a laundry business, because we felt that it was very profitable and very easy to manage. We have always wanted to start the laundry business, and up until now we are still enjoying the business and our benefits. We are also lucky to become LG Commercial Laundry dealers,” she shared.

Why LG Commercial Washers?
From the beginning, Joy and her team knew they needed reliable, high-quality machines to ensure long-term success. “We have always thought of LG as the best value brand at the time, and we have always seen LG as the superior brand when it comes to quality.”

Their confidence in LG has only grown stronger over the years. “The durability of LG has stood the test of time in our laundromats for over a decade. In fact, the original machines we had when we started our laundromats are still in good condition until now.”

Beyond durability, LG machines have helped maintain high laundry standards while also streamlining operations. “Not only is the quality of the machines themselves good, but the quality of the laundry is very high. Our customers have been with us for years, and we are very happy that these customers are also enjoying the benefits of our newer machines: The LG Onyx C Max Models,” Joy shared. “These new machines are also easier for us to monitor, due to the new smart solution features these machines bring.”

Advice for Aspiring Laundry Business Owners
For those looking to start their own laundromat business, Joy emphasizes the importance of investing in the right machines. “The best advice we can give to any aspiring laundry shop owner is that the machines are your business partner.”
