What makes your business stand out?

 Laundry Luv is the largest, newest, and cleanest laundromat in the Abilene area. Our state-of-the-art 54 washers and 56 dryers, coupled with our premier wash dry fold and delivery services, create the ideal environment to turn the hassle of laundry into a luxury experience. Our store is always fully-attended with helpful staff offering the best customer service. We welcome families and offer a dedicated space for early childhood development and literacy. We "LUV" your family like our own and want you to feel that every time you visit us.

What do customers say about working with you?

 With over 300 5-star reviews on Google, our customers call Laundry Luv "the Buc-ees of laundromats!" They love our "top-notch" coinless machines, "the spacious of the store," and the "great value" we provide. We are so proud that our customers appreciate and recognize how "respectful," "courteous," and "helpful" our staff is in every encounter. Customers - and kids! - love our children's play and literacy area, and describe their visits as a "pleasant" and "relaxing experience."

Please share the value of Chamber involvement.

 We are proud to be American small business owners and feel strongly that businesses build community and the community builds the business. We value our membership with the Abilene Chamber as an outlet to stay connected in our community, to be found and seen by new clients, to find opportunities to support Abilene residents and fellow small business owners and to stay educated on how we can do the most good for the people of Abilene.

What culture do you provide within your company?

 Though we are extremely proud of our store and products, we believe our people are our competitive advantage. Our driving mission is to put people first - both on our team and with our clientele. Our people are our partners. We've built a culture that encourages our team to think and act like proud business owners. They are empowered to build the future they want with Laundry Luv just as much as we are as the true owners. We treat everyone with the utmost care and respect and value what each person brings to the business.

How do you give back to the community?

 In December 2022, we hosted a Free Laundry & Literacy Day in conjunction with the Laundry Cares Foundation where 100+ Abilene-area families washed nearly 27,00 pounds of laundry entirely for FREE. At the event, attendees received free food, access to community resources, prizes, children's STEM and reading activities, and free books for every child. Throughout the year, Laundry Luv hosts several community events, giving out hundreds of supplies-filled backpacks to students every fall, free Thanksgiving meals in November, and toys for kids in December. We are also proud to provide donations and support for breast cancer awareness and survivors and support our local military families and veterans with special discounts and offerings throughout the year. Monthly, Laundry Luv partners with the Abilene Public Library to host story time in our kids Read, Play, Learn Center. We are also proud to send kids home with free books from Scholastic Books at every visit to our laundromat. We really mean it when we encourage customers to bring their families along to our safe, clean, and fun environment!
