It&#039;s not buying the wrong washing machine, but...<strong>Wrong berth selected, wrong note<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many aspiring entrepreneurs believe that &quot;as long as there are many pedestrians on the street, the shop will definitely have business.&quot; But Sunshine Laundry has been through countless battles in Hong Kong, inspecting numerous shops, and we can confidently tell you:<strong>A large flow of people does not necessarily mean a large customer flow!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the Sunshine Laundry franchise consultant team will break down the two most feared locations in the industry\u2014&quot;Yin-Yang Street&quot; and &quot;Corner Shop&quot;\u2014and teach you how to avoid these traps and choose a truly lucrative shop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Firstly, why is there a long queue on the other side of the street while I&#039;m stuck with a fly? \u2014 Beware of &quot;Streets with Unseen Stories&quot;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&quot;Yin-Yang Street&quot; is a major taboo in both the retail and service industries. It refers to the same street.<strong>One side is teeming with people (sunny side), while the other side is deserted (shady side).<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why does Yin-Yang Street appear?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> This is usually because the &quot;gathering spots&quot; on both sides of the street are different. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sunny side:<\/strong> It has a bus stop, an MTR station exit, a large supermarket, and a market entrance. It&#039;s a must-pass route for locals to buy groceries and go to work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>nightside:<\/strong> It is a long wall outside a school, a site, or a residential complex wall without shops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A fatal blow to laundromats:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Laundry customers usually carry a large bag of heavy items (such as winter clothes and bedding). If the drain is on the &quot;sunny side,&quot; it&#039;s...<strong>Absolutely not<\/strong>To help you, I specially carried my heavy bag across the street to the &quot;shady side&quot;! Therefore, when choosing a location for a laundry shop, you must conduct an on-site inspection to ensure that the shop is on the &quot;convenient route&quot; for the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Second misconception: Lower rent, but less business? \u2014 Debunking the myth of &quot;corner shops&quot;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another common mistake beginners make is renting a &quot;corner shop&quot; because it&#039;s cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&quot;Corner shops&quot; are usually located at the very end of a street, or in an inconspicuous recess after a corner. When the flow of people reaches the end of the street and is about to turn, the flow of people will suddenly &quot;drop&quot; (decrease significantly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of corner pavement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>advantage:<\/strong> The rent is usually lower than the main street paving 20% \u2013 30%, and the entry barrier is lower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>shortcoming:<\/strong> <strong>Extremely low visibility!<\/strong> Neighbors passing by might not even see your sign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sunshine Laundry experts recommend:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Laundry shops rely heavily on &quot;neighborhood business&quot; and &quot;impulse buying&quot; (for example, seeing a laundry while walking by and remembering there&#039;s a blanket at home that needs washing). If you choose a corner shop, you need to have extremely strong [sense of responsibility\/ability].<strong>publicity methods<\/strong>or<strong>Extremely high probability signboard<\/strong>Go attract customers. Otherwise, the saved rent may not be enough to make up for the lost revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary: 3 Golden Rules for Choosing a Location for Your Laundry Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid &quot;shady streets&quot; and &quot;corner shops,&quot; remember these 3 golden rules summarized by Sunshine Laundry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find a foothold:<\/strong> Try to stay close to places that locals frequent, such as supermarkets, markets, and convenience stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the road position:<\/strong> Observe the main walking path of residents returning to the housing estate after work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inspections were conducted in different time slots.<\/strong> Don&#039;t just go to look at shops during the afternoon; you must go to count the crowds between 6-8 pm (the prime time after work) and on weekends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udca1 You&#039;ve found a shop you like, but you&#039;re not sure if it&#039;s suitable for opening a laundry shop?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right location is the first step to opening a successful laundry shop; you absolutely cannot rely on guesswork!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sunshine Laundry Franchise Team<\/strong>We have extensive experience in site selection in Hong Kong.
