Retool With Our Chicago Team—and Keep Customers Coming Back
When machines are down or cycles feel confusing, customers don’t wait it out—they go somewhere else. And in Chicago, there’s always another laundromat close by.
A retool helps you protect your regulars by reinforcing reliability where customers feel it first. The result: smoother days, steadier turns and a store that holds its ground as competition heats up.
- Handle peak hours without expanding your footprint
- Cut downtime that quietly costs you customers
- Increase revenue per visit with simple upgrade options
What Is Your Aging
Equipment Costing You?
Even when older machines “work,” they can quietly raise your cost per turn. As equipment ages, failures tend to happen more often—adding friction to daily operations.
When parts for outdated machines are harder to source, repairs can take longer and parts spending often rises. Downtime can end up costing more than the repair itself, while your staff spends more time troubleshooting issues instead of focusing on running the store.
Efficiency That Can Pay You Back
Replacement can be an efficiency move that improves store flow. With each cycle, you may use less water and energy**. New models support smoother wash‑to‑dry flow through improved extraction, can improve cycle times for more turns per day and reduce customer confusion with modern and customizable controls and payment.

Choose Platforms and Controls That Fit Your Chicago Store
No option is one-size-fits-all—that’s why we’re here to talk through what may be right for your store. Retooling decisions often come down to two areas:
Washer platforms
Whether your layout calls for hardmount, softmount or stack washer-extractors/tumblers, we’ve got you covered.
Controls
Available with Quantum® Touch or Quantum® Gold.
These choices tend to work best when they match your day-to-day operations, your customer experience goals and your site conditions.
Quantum Touch Controls—Built Around Your Store
It’s a busy hour. Customers want to get started quickly, and you don’t want staff tied up answering the same questions or fixing pricing workarounds. Quantum Touch® controls are designed to make starts feel intuitive for customers—while giving you the flexibility to set prices, upgrades and options that reflect how your store actually runs.
What this means for you

Upgrade Without Disruption (and Make the Numbers Work)
A phased replacement plan helps you upgrade on a timeline that fits your store. With a plan tailored to you, you can start with your highest-impact machines, plan installs to keep your floor operating and review different financing, warranty and service options.
This helps you tie your decisions to specific and real ROI drivers, like utilities, turns per day and cycle modifiers.
