2ULaundry’s laundromat franchise opens first Charlotte location

CHARLOTTE — Charlotte’s first LaundroLab facility opened to the public last week.

LaundroLab is a modern laundromat franchise concept that “provides a safe, welcoming and convenient experience for customers while creating a new and exciting business opportunity for entrepreneurs across the country.” It launched in January as a spinoff of Charlotte-based valet laundry and dry-cleaning service 2ULaundry, co-founded in 2016 by Alex Smereczniak and Dan D’Aquisto.

The facility, at 5618 Albemarle Road in east Charlotte, opened to coincide with “Free Laundry Day” in partnership with Illinois-based nonprofit LaundryCares Foundation.

“This year has been kind of fascinating for us,” D’Aquisto said. “As we reviewed where we were in 2020, we incubated a whole new company inside our startup and brought that to life.”
