When something has been around for 30-plus years, I think it’s fair to call it a fixture.
This month’s issue is a fixture.
2016 marks the 34th year that American Coin-Op has published our Buyer’s Guide, a directory of manufacturers and providers of products and services of interest to vended laundry owners and operators.
Whether it be a new front loader, a payment system that accepts coins or cards, an extra profit center, or something else, our Buyer’s Guide offers a list of companies that market them and informs prospective buyers how they can contact them. There are just shy of 150 companies listed this year.
We provide everything you need to know—local and/or toll free phone numbers, websites and e-mail addresses to contact a vendor. There’s even a principal contact person listed, if one was provided to us.
The Buyer’s Guide begins on page 10 with the Products Directory—categorical listings of companies that manufacture or supply equipment, signage, furniture and more, or provide unique services to self-service laundry owners or investors.
Once you’ve identified vendors that interest you, you can learn where to contact them in the Manufacturers & Suppliers Directory starting on page 20.
When you call on a vendor, let them know that American Coin-Op guided you in their direction.

POINTING THE WAY

R&B WIRE PRODUCTS MARKS 70TH ANNIVERSARY
R&B Wire Products is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, the manufacturer of laundry carts reports.
The self-service laundry industry was in its infancy when RB Company started in 1946. World War II had ended, and the ingenuity of product design and development shifted from the war effort to practical products that improve the lives of everyday Americans. R&B set about filling the need for a handy cart to transport laundry from washers to dryers.
By 1966, Rea Rawlins was at the helm of R&B, while son Rick, a high schooler, worked weekends and summers welding and assembling laundry carts. These wire carts became the foundation for the company. Rea Rawlins ultimately became chairman of the Coin Laundry Association board in 1983, helping create greater industry value.
As R&B matured and Rick Rawlins graduated from college, the father and son became a dynamic team, the company says. Rick became R&B’s president and CEO in the late 1980s when Rea decided to retire. Later, Rick followed in his father’s shoes yet again by becoming CLA board chairman in 2001.
Today, R&B Wire Products serves the coin laundry, commercial laundry, healthcare, hospitality, janitorial supply and materialhandling market sectors with a global company presence, says Rick Rawlins.
“Celebrating 70 years of ‘Manufacturing Excellence’ is overwhelming and hard to conceive,” he shares, “but it certainly is something I am very proud of. I look back with a real sense of pride and thanks to our R&B distributors who have been instrumental in the development of R&B over this time.”
He further attributed R&B’s longevity to its commitment to a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” philosophy.
ELECTROLUX INTRODUCES NEW EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
Stockholm-based Electrolux recently welcomed two new leaders to key management positions: Alan Shaw as head of Major Appliances North America, and Daniel (Dan) Arler as head of Major Appliances Europe, Middle East and Africa. Both will also serve as executive vice presidents, the company says.
Shaw worked for Husqvarna AB, a producer of outdoor power products, in 2013-2015. He was president and CEO of outdoor grill maker Char-Broil LLC from 2005, prior to which he was president and CEO of consumer power equipment company Murray Group. He has also held a number of senior management positions in Whirlpool Corp.
Shaw, who is a U.S. citizen, has bachelor of science degrees in economics and political science from the University of Idaho, and an MBA in marketing from Indiana University.
Arler had been senior vice president of the Electrolux Kitchen product line, a post he’d held since 2012. He has been with the company since 2002, with previous responsibilities including heading the Laundry product line in Asia-Pacific, general manager of Electrolux Japan and head of the Electrolux brand’s business activities in EMEA. Prior to joining Electrolux, he held various management positions within Stanley Works and at Whirlpool in Europe.
Arler is a Dutch native who has a bachelor of science degree in marketing from Aston University.
“We’re very pleased to welcome two such strong leaders with records of proven success to key positions in Group Management,” says Jonas Samuelson, who on Feb. 1 took over as Electrolux president and CEO with the retirement of Keith McLoughlin. “Dan has been instrumental in developing and implementing our strategy to focus on profitable, built-in kitchen products and reducing complexity in EMEA’s product portfolio. Alan’s strong track record with leading consumer durables brands in North America makes him the right person to drive the continued profitable growth of the business area.”
Laundrylux, Inwood, N.Y., distributes Electrolux Professional laundry equipment through an extensive North American distributor network.
DISTRIBUTOR BELENKY EXPANDS VENDED LAUNDRY OFFERINGS AS IPSO DEALER
Belenky Inc. was recently added to the IPSO distributor network, the company reports. It will offer an extensive line of IPSO vended and on-premises washers and dryers to customers in a territory that encompasses northern Ohio north of I-70.
Belenky Inc. has had a long history of success with other Alliance brands, including Huebsch, UniMac and Speed Queen, says Rob Minster, president of the distributorship.
“Alliance Laundry Systems is a proven leader and innovator in the vended laundry business,” Minster says. “We want to offer our customers only the best equipment available. Knowing that IPSO has this backing makes IPSO a great choice for our customers.”
Belenky Inc. has been in business for more than a century. Besides offering parts and service, it has demonstrated expertise in all phases of Laundromat ownership, from helping owners design their space to selecting the equipment mix and determining utility requirements.

PROFITING FROM A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE
busi-
requires customers to come in and wait for an hour or two. That means you have a “captive audience.” These are people who would like to be entertained in some way. Sure, you may have a TV and some video games they can play, and there are magazines they can browse, but all this gets tiresome in a short while.
Why not use the “captive audience” notion to provide entertainment, to stimulate curiosity, and even to profit from the arrangement?
Sell a unique product. It doesn’t have to have anything to do with cleaning clothes. It should simply be
something not found in other stores. Coming up with a unique product or product line requires you to put on your thinking cap or do some research out in the field. How do you do research?
Attend a gift show. On the East Coast, there is a huge gift show annually at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. There are large shows in Chicago and Los Angeles every year. Go to craft fairs, where you will find products that are not sold in traditional retail stores.
Unity, Maine, hosts the Common Ground Fair every September. On the West Coast every July, there’s the Oregon Country Fair. Both feature vendors that make unusual, one-of-a-kind, handmade products. Keep

AN OUTSIDER’S VIEW
your eyes and ears open to finding products to sell.
In my neck of the woods, a couple formed a business called Something Else by Peterene, making diffraction foil and depth-illusion bookmarks and postcards for museum stores around the country. But after 20 years, they retired, and the business died. Now in retirement, they want to re-establish a business in a small way. They are looking for someone to buy their products. This would be a perfect opportunity for an area operator to take them up on their offer. Buy a little display that can sit on your counter or on a table. Sell bookmarks and postcards.
The thing with these products is that they’re visually enchanting the more you look at them. They’re mesmerizing, shimmering, and iridescent. So, a customer waiting for his wash to finish wanders over and plays with a few items. The next time, he asks the attendant a few questions. The third time, he buys an item. Then he makes periodic purchases, giving them to friends and family, and occasionally buys a half-dozen items to give as gifts. Voila, you’ve created a revenue stream that adds to the bottom line.
How about featuring a line of amusing wooden signs? I know a woodworker who turns out signs that read, “I hope my ship comes in before my boat rots,” and has a rotting deck on the bottom of the sign. Another reads “The really blended family,” with an electric blender alongside the copy.
What other products would qualify? Sell a line of funky greeting cards—slightly “salty” ones, perhaps. Again, they’re something that aren’t sold in many stores. How about unique, handmade birdhouses or hummingbird feeders? Many crafters turn these items out and have no place to market them. How about a line of cosmetics made by a local beekeeper? Such a line includes face lotions, body gels and sunscreen. Your shop might be the perfect outlet.
The rationale for selling something not connected to garment cleaning is that you want to make your store interesting. And what could be more interesting than having an unusual product to peruse? There doesn’t have to be any more rationale than that.
Of course, to sell retail products, you must have an attendant.

AN OUTSIDER’S VIEW
But even if you don’t employ an attendant, you might come in for an hour a day and sell out of a locked case.
Another idea is to offer an unusual service. How about encouraging a school tutor to use your facility? Perhaps your store would do because it’s a convenient location and is available day and night. You could set up a small table with two chairs. After an introductory time, the tutor could pay you for the space. Or not pay you. You might decide to sacrifice profit for being community-minded. Such do-gooder activities will also bring you more trade business.
How about having a glass case for hobbies and collections? Your customers could display their spare-time pastimes. One person arranges a set-up of car models for a month. Then another arranges his old-time baseball cards. Yet another person displays his collection of World War II memorabilia.
How about allowing members of a small book group to come in every other week to discuss their book selection? This won’t garner revenue, but it will show your public-spiritedness. Besides,
it adds to the atmosphere of having people around. I’m talking a group of a half-dozen on a slow Tuesday morning. Set up six chairs in a small circle on your premises. Patrons will take note of such activity.
How about allowing a musician to come in weekly to play for the customers? Perhaps a guitarist who sings, or an accordionist who whistles tunes. There are many aspiring musicians who would love to perform before a small audience. Customers would appreciate the entertainment. If the musician starts to draw a crowd, you could create limits.
A captive audience. The more you think about the possibilities, the more you discover.
Your business is one of the few that has a captive audience that typically stays around for a while. Make hay from that fact. ACO
