CLA Going Green
The Coin Laundry Association (CLA) is welcoming the new year by going green. In 2009, CLA members will have the choice of receiving the industry survey and annual report by Internet download, e-mail or in print.
“The self-service laundry industry has long been a steward of the environment,” said Brian Wallace, president and CEO of the Coin Laundry Association. “Laundry owners have been quietly pioneering conservation of the world’s resources for decades – with energy-efficient, multi-load washers and dryers. This option is just another – smaller but very natural step – in that ongoing process.”
The Industry Survey is an annual profile of the retail, self-service laundry industry. It gives laundry owners benchmarks for comparing everything from vend prices and gross revenue per square foot to attendant compensation and hours of operation. Statistics are presented in both national and regional averages.
“CLA’s Board of Directors fully supported the move toward electronic delivery of annual communication,” said Chris Balestracci, Board member and owner of Super Wash Laundry in East Haven, CT. “Things like the Annual Report, which are accessed on a cursory level by most members, make a download not only logical, but also environmentally friendly.”
Laundry owners are asked to notify the association of their delivery preference for these items by visiting www.coinlaundry.org/update or calling (800) 570-5629.
The Coin Laundry Association, headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, is a not-for-profit trade organization with more than 2,500 members. Established in 1960, the Coin Laundry Association’s mission is to ensure a profitable and growing retail, self-service laundry operation by providing superior education, products and services to laundry owners. For membership information or to find a laundry in your area, call (877) 252-4332 or visit coinlaundry.org.
