“MAYBE YOUR BEST BET ISN’T IN STOCKS OR BONDS OR REAL ESTATE — BUT IN YOUR OWN BUSINESS… GO FOR YOUR DREAM.”

— FORBES MAGAZINE INVESTMENT GUIDE

Looking for a sound investment?You might just be holding the answer in your hands. The entrepreneurial climate is exploding. Which suggests that owning a business…the right business…is a very viable addition to traditional investments such as stocks, bonds and real estate.

Finding the right business is the key.And that’s what makes this information so valuable. We’re giving you an inside look at a business opportunity that is easy to set up and easy to run. The

Vended Laundry (also referred to as Coin Laundry and Self-Service Laundry). Once we show you the exciting potential for return on your investment, there’s a good chance you’ll want to change your own investment strategy to include a vended laundry…specifically a “Maytag Equipped” Vended Laundry.

You could ‘clean up’ in the vended laundry business.Currently, there are around 35,000 vended laundries in the United States, and they generate approximately $5 billion in gross revenue annually*. Clean clothes, like food and shelter, are considered a necessity of life and vended laundries provide a basic health service for millions of Americans. Vended laundries thrive in periods of both growth and recession. During periods of recession, when home ownership decreases, the self-service laundry market expands as more people are unable to afford to repair, replace or purchase new washers and dryers, or as they move to apartment housing with inadequate or nonexistent laundry facilities. The market size grows proportionately to the increase in population. The public will always need this basic health service — people always need to wash clothes!

A VENDED LAUNDRY OPERATION IS PREDICTABLE. IT’S STABLE. AND IT’S A PRODUCTIVE INVESTMENT WITH AN UPWARD RETURN.

Whyinvest in a

“Maytag Equipped”Laundry?

THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS AND THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

With a “Maytag Equipped” Vended Laundry, the likelihood of success and the return on investment can be greater than with other vended laundry operations. That’s because of everything that an affiliation with Maytag gives you.

Instant credibility in the marketplace. The “Maytag Equipped” signage on your store provides an immediate comfort level among consumers because of the Maytag reputation.

No franchise fees. This opportunity gives you “name recognition” — the main advantage associated with franchising — but without requiring you to pay franchise fees.

Consumer rated number one Maytag washers and dryers.* Maytag laundry products are the most preferred and the most recognized in the marketplace.

Innovative product design. Maytag designs its products for more capacity in less space. And that increases the potential for higher return on your investment.

Lower utility costs. Maytag’s ENERGY ADVANTAGE™ line of commercial washers and dryers are proven to reduce energy costs for substantial savings over other brands.

Equipment that is built to last. Others can say they make a quality product for the commercial laundry market, but only Maytag can claim to make a washer that lasts longer than any other brand available today.** And Maytag pays as much attention to appearance as performance. Despite

exposure to the harsh self-service laundry environment, it’s important that your equipment stays looking as good as it performs. After all, a good looking laundry not only attracts new customers, it keeps them coming back. That’s why Maytag steel cabinets are

protected by the same painting process found on many of today’s luxury automobiles. Maytag multi-load washers feature all 304-stainless steel top, front and sides.

A leader in commercial laundry technology. Maytag was first to introduce customer-friendly, computer-controlled equipment to the industry. These controls allow promotional pricing, revenue accountability and self diagnosis of service needs, all which help the bottom line.

Simplicity of dealing with one equipment manufacturer. Maytag has all the product types needed for most vended laundries. From traditional top-load washers to the new high-efficiency front-load washers…to giant capacity front-load washers and multi-load dryers, you can depend on Maytag to deliver a total store package designed for profits.

THE BOTTOM LINE? MAYTAG KNOWS THE VENDED LAUNDRY BUSINESS…AND VENDED LAUNDRY CUSTOMERS KNOW MAYTAG!

*Based on independent consumer brand preference surveys. **Based on independent surveys of the length of life of top-load washers.

MAYTAG’S INNOVATIVE EQUIPMENT DESIGN ALLOWS OPPORTUNITY IN VIRTUALLY ANY MARKET.

Maytag offers flexible solutions to satisfy customers and investors in any market.

The type of “Maytag Equipped” Laundry an investor should build varies from market to market — and in fact, from neighborhood to neighborhood. Maytag products allow store designs that fit the needs of the market, while maximizing the return for the investor.

From the “micro laundry” to the “big box laundry.” Whether retrofitting an existing laundry, or building a new “Maytag Equipped” Laundry. Whether the laundry is to be your only

business or the laundry is to be an addition to another business. Whether your market is a town of 300 or a large metropolitan area, there’s no doubt about it…the opportunity is with Maytag.

BDS Laundry Systems, the exclusive Maytag distributor serving the region, can help you design a “Maytag Equipped” Laundry that’s right for you.

LET BDS LAUNDRY SYSTEMS ASSIST YOU, WHETHER YOU’RE OPENING A NEW STORE OR RETROFITTING AN EXISTING ONE.

The top factors for success: location and professional signage.

YOUR EXTERIOR SIGN IS YOUR NUMBER ONE TRAFFIC BUILDER.

Location will directly impact your success.Your business can be well-equipped, well-built and well-managed, but if the location isn’t right, the business may not reach its full income potential. There are basic guidelines to follow when selecting a site, such as:

• Locate near other businesses

• Provide adequate parking

• Be aware of your competition

• Know the demographics of the surrounding area (population, owners vs. renters, income level, etc.)

Maytag offers a professional sign package that is sure to attract customers.

Maytag is the most recognized and most preferred name in the laundry industry. Substantial time and resources have been invested in building the Maytag reputation, and having the official Maytag brand logo on your outdoor sign gives your store instant credibility. Be certain your exterior sign is visible — it’s your #1 traffic builder. In fact, 48% of laundry store users surveyed said they found out about the store by seeing the sign out front, not by flipping through the Yellow Pages or by online search engines.

TWO MAJOR FACTORS THAT CAN INFLUENCE THE SUCCESS OF A VENDED LAUNDRY BUSINESS ARE LOCATION AND THE MAYTAG BRAND REPUTATION.

Where will your customers come from?

THE MARKET IS FAIRLY PREDICTABLE WHICH MAKES FOR A SOUND INVESTMENT.

Vended laundries have been around for many years so the business history is well established and the market fairly predictable.

One of the most surprising aspects of the vended laundry business is the market. It consists of a lot more people than just those who lack their own laundry facilities (students, apartment dwellers, home renters, etc.). In fact, a recent survey of vended laundry users shows that only 52.3% fall into that category.

Another 45.9% actually have a washer and dryer available where they live, but prefer to use the equipment available at “Maytag Equipped” Laundries. The reasons include:

• Large-capacity equipment makes it easy to wash and dry oversized household items such as comforters, rugs, sleeping bags and more• Ability to do laundry faster because of multiple machines and large capacity equipment• A “Maytag Equipped” Laundry offers the latest in high-tech equipment• Home laundry is incapable of handling bulky items

And there are other potential customers for your “Maytag Equipped” Coin Laundry:

• Travelers• Businesses that require clean laundry, such as salons, spas, health care facilities and restaurants, but have no on-site laundry equipment• People whose home laundry equipment is temporarily not in working order

What does it take to keep customers coming back?According to a recent Coin Laundry Association survey of laundry customers, the Top 5 needs are:

1. Enough machines available when I need them.

2. Cleanliness.

The bottom line? Vended laundry customers want time-savings and convenience in a clean, safe environment that is close to home.

A STRONG MARKET EXISTS VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE. WE’RE INVITING YOU TO CASH IN ON IT WITH A “MAYTAG EQUIPPED” LAUNDRY!

3. Feeling safe and secure.

4. Having big machines.

5. Distance from home.

BDS LAUNDRY SYSTEMS CAN ASSIST YOU IN DETERMINING THE OPTIMAL LOCATION FOR YOUR STORE.

A successful enterprise starts by uncovering market opportunities.

When it comes to success in the vended laundry business, it’s important to work with a distributor that has more than a half century of experience in making certain your store is located in an area where you have the best opportunity to thrive.

A detailed demographic study is the place to start. This includes identifying the surrounding population’s ethnic makeup, income levels, rental percentage, household size and median age. All of these factors will influence your store’s revenue potential. It is also important to study traffic patterns, research the availability of utilities, assess store visibility and signage, and ensure there is ample parking available.

BDS Laundry Systems will also provide a competitive analysis for a potential site. This includes identifying area competitors, and assessing their strengths and weaknesses in such areas as equipment mix and condition, amenities offered, pricing and other important factors.

WHEN SCOUTING POTENTIAL STORE LOCATIONS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ASSESS THE OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS THAT EXIST IN THE MARKETPLACE.

Selecting your location…• The site should be near other businesses

• You must have adequate parking facilities available for your customers

• Make certain the site is in a highly visible area

• Locating on a corner where two streets intersect usually makes for an ideal location

• Be aware of the competition in your area

• Conduct a detailed demographic analysis

• Determine the best location(s) for exterior signage and research local sign ordinances

• Look into local advertising and promotional opportunities available in the area

Determine your store’s estimated profit potential.

BDS LAUNDRY SYSTEMS CAN PROVIDE ESTIMATED REVENUE PROJECTIONS BEFORE YOU EVER INVEST A PENNY.

This report will provide you with a snap-shot of estimated sales, utility costs and overhead.

Your profitability will be influenced by:

• Exterior Maytag signage

• The size of the target market

• Ample parking

• Customer retention rates

• Utility costs and overhead

• Employing friendly, helpful attendants

• Store cleanliness and safety

• Hours of operation

* The figures that will be provided will be estimates only, and there is no assurance you will do as well. You must accept the risk of not doing as well. The figures provided are not a representation, warranty or guaranty by BDS Laundry Systems that you will be profitable. You must rely upon your own ability and your own professional advisors to evaluate the suitability of the location, costs, and associated risks.

The right mix of equipment is the recipe for success.

THE TYPE, SIZE AND AMOUNT OF EQUIPMENT YOU CHOOSE CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

Maximize ROI with right mix of equipment.Choosing the proper mix of equipment for your “Maytag Equipped” Laundry is important. By being “in tune” with market preferences, you can match the equipment mix to the particular needs of users. For example, college students typically want smaller, single-load equipment, while families demand a mix of larger, multi-load machines so they can complete the laundry chore quickly and efficiently.

Generally speaking, larger washers are more efficient per pound of laundry washed. Therefore, profit margins are higher on multi-load equipment compared to traditional top-load washers. Areas with large families require having a higher proportion of large washers.

It is also important to have ample dryer capacity. To maximize revenue on busy days, such as weekends, you need to move customers through the store as quickly as possible. With the right mix of single- and multi-load washers, the general rule is there should be one dryer pocket per washer.

Carefully selecting the optimal mix of equipment will draw customers to your store, maximize machine “turns” and minimize utility costs.

Additional equipment needsIn addition to washers and dryers, it is essential that you provide other equipment in your store:

• Bill changers

• Soap and plastic bag vending machines

• Snack and beverage vending machines

• Highly efficient water heating systems

• Utility bulkheads

• Folding tables and seating units

• Laundry carts

• Other market-specific equipment

THE EXPERTS AT BDS LAUNDRY SYSTEMS KNOW WHICH TYPES OF EQUIPMENT WILL WORK BEST FOR YOUR OPERATION.

Plan the store layout for customer convenience.

THE GOAL IS TO MAXIMIZE PROFIT PER SQUARE FOOT OF FLOOR SPACE.

Store layout and design are critical factors in the marketability of your vended laundry.

Second only to location, the most important factor contributing to the ultimate success of any vended laundry is the layout and design of the store’s interior. If your store is designed for convenience, it will meet the needs of your customers, and encourage them to come back time after time.

Before breaking ground on new construction, or extensively remodeling an existing building, the experts at BDS Laundry Systems can provide you with a thorough and detailed plan that will make the best and most profitable use of floor space for a particular location.

BDS KNOWS HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFIT POTENTIAL BY DESIGNING A LAUNDRY WITH THE PROPER EQUIPMENT MIX, SERVICES AND LAYOUT.

• Equipment selection, number and type

• Mechanical requirements such as adequate water pressure, supply of hot water, venting, the size of gas lines, location of sewer lines and utility planning

• Wide aisles and plenty of windows for ambience and security reasons

• Smooth and steady workflow for employees, particularly if you offer ancillary services

• Adequate parking and proper doorways to make it easy for customers to enter and exit

• Appropriate modifications to comply with state and local building, fire and handicapped accessibility codes

• Proper amount and placement of chairs and folding tables

• An attractive interior design, including color schemes, flooring options, ceiling fans, television monitors, etc.

• Optimal placement of bill changers and attendant station

• Efficiency and performance enhancements

The store layout plan will include:

Well-designed mechanicals pay big dividends.

AN EFFICIENT “BACK ROOM” WILL SAVE YOU MONEY YEAR AFTER YEAR.

The right mechanical systems increase energy efficiency.A self-service vended laundry store requires the use of significant amounts of natural resources including water, natural gas and electricity. The experts at BDS Laundry Systems have the real-world experience to design systems that maximize the use of these resources.

HIGHLY-EFFICIENT WATER HEATING SYSTEM. The water heating system in your equipment room may not be the most glamorous part of your operation, but it is the heart of it. BDS will engineer a water heating system specifically for your store to meet your hot water requirements. The right water heating system can provide efficiency levels as high as 99.8% efficient to make your operation more profitable.

DRYER MAKEUP AIR SYSTEM. The experts at BDS Laundry Systems will work with your building contractor to engineer an efficient dryer makeup air system specifically tailored to your location. Properly vented dryers will provide better results for your customers and reduce your operation costs by maximizing efficiency.

MONITORING SYSTEM. It is important to keep an eye on your investment, even when you’re not able to make a store visit. New security and monitoring technology allows you to view video surveillance via the Internet, monitor bill changers, protect against floods and more. You can even remotely lock and unlock doors and control lighting from the comfort of your home or office.

THE “NUTS AND BOLTS” OF MANAGING UTILITY COSTS AND PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT IS WHERE YOUR REAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE EXISTS.

Offer “extras” to earn even more.

MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFITS BY OFFERING COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

There’s more to today’s vended laundry stores than just washers and dryers.

Let’s face it. No one likes doing laundry. That’s why it’s important to make the experience as enjoyable and efficient as possible. Here are several ways other store owners have cashed in on this captive audience:

• Wash/Dry/Fold service

• Tanning booths

• Car wash

• Pet wash

• Mailbox rentals

• Convenience/grocery store

• Video games

• ATMs

• Children’s play area

• Concessions

• Coffee bar

• Fitness center

• Drycleaning

• Internet access

Commercial accountsA significant opportunity exists in serving commercial accounts — such as restaurants, catering services, health clubs, salons, spas, grocery stores, health care facilities and more. Many store owners provide pickup and delivery services for larger commercial accounts.

WHEN DESIGNING YOUR “MAYTAG EQUIPPED” VENDED LAUNDRY, CONSIDER INCLUDING AMENITIES TO ATTRACT A VARIETY OF CUSTOMERS.

Accept both coins and credit cards with an advanced payment system.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OPERATION WITH THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY.

BDS Laundry Systems offers “smart” solutions to provide total payment flexibility.

Nearly 75 percent of U.S. consumers carry at least one credit card in their wallet or purse, and studies show that customers spend more money when using credit cards versus cash. Customers who use credit cards will often seek out businesses that offer card-based payment options. New FasCard technology from Card Concepts Inc. (CCI) allows vended laundry owners to accept credit cards on washers, dryers and other vending equipment, while still offering customers the option to use coins for payment. This revolutionary system uses wireless Wi-Fi technology for easy installation and offers powerful web-based management tools to put owners in complete control of their business.

PAYMENT CONVENIENCEMachines equipped with the FasCard System have the ability to accept major credit cards and “offline” debit cards while still having the ability to accept quarters as usual. Coins or card…let your customer make the choice!

BIGGER PROFITSCustomers that pay using a credit card will buy more wash cycles, upgrade to higher priced machines and buy more dry time. Customers no longer have to insert quarter after quarter into the coin drops, and you’ll deal with fewer hassles from having to count, roll and transport quarters to the bank.

100% WIRELESSThe FasCard System uses wireless Wi-Fi communication for cable-free installation. The system is easy to install on all major brands of commercial laundry equipment.

CREDIT CARD ACCEPTANCE IS THE FUTURE…IT ALLOWS YOUR CUSTOMERS TO CHOOSE THE PAYMENT OPTION THAT BEST FITS THEIR NEEDS.

Add up all of the advantages.

FOR THE RIGHT INVESTOR, THE SKY’S THE LIMIT!

Maytag and BDS can provide the framework for your new business venture…you’re the ignition.
