While most coin laundries in Japan do not offer dry-cleaning due to the additional owner investment, more and more Japanese store owners are now offering both services to assist their customers. “The Japanese Coin Laundry and Dry-Cleaning business is highly competitive,” said Mr. Akagi. But I’ve been able to succeed due to Dexter’s durable and cost-effective equipment.” Mr. Akagi has been partnering with Aeon shopping malls and Max Value supermarkets to place stores in their facilities, so that housewives can drop off their laundry, and then go shopping while they wait. A popular combination, Mr. Akagi has already successfully opened 4 coin/dry cleaning stores and is currently developing his fifth store in the next Aeon Town shopping mall with Dexter Laundry Equipment.
