Laserforce
Celebrates 25th Anniversary and Sets Another Industry Benchmark
Brisbane, Australia - April, 3, 2013 - Laserforce
International has been operating, developing, manufacturing and supplying
high-quality laser tag systems to professional laser tag operators since 1987.
For twenty-five years, owner and founder, Len Kelly, has built a solid
reputation based on hard work and constant dedication to ongoing R&D. Having
founded the world's longest running Laserforce site in Brisbane, Australia, he
has shown an unwavering commitment to providing the ultimate laser tag
experience. "To still be in business after twenty-five years has taken perseverance and a great deal of hard work," stated Len. "Throughout that time, it has particularly been a pleasure to see laser tag go from something that was brushed off as little more than a passing fad, to now being in the main stream and a must have for many FECs and bowling centers. I feel a sense of accomplishment and think it's a great testament to our hard work that 120 businesses worldwide are now operating with Laserforce equipment."
"It's been a joy witnessing technology change and seeing the reliability of the equipment improve," said Len. "It's amazing how far we have come compared to when we first started."
After a very successful quarter of a century as a leader in laser tag, Len has been slowly turning the reigns over to his son, Sam Kelly, who has shown the same commitment to the industry and the company as his father. "It has been a great experience and has taken a lot of hard work getting heavily involved with Laserforce over the past 3 years," commented Sam. "I am passionate about Laserforce because it is my family's business. I take great pride in my work and I want to see the company grow. I would love to see laser tag played in every FEC, Bowling Center and Theme Park in the world because I know how much fun it is. It is something I grew up with." |

"Face-Lift" your Store & Increase Profits- from HK LAUNDRY NEWS RELEASE - This article is a testimonial to Bill Gerardi who recently renovated his Norwalk, Connecticut Laundromat. The Laundromat on 280 Connecticut Avenue was built in the late 1980's and has had the laundry equipment renovated over the years, but never a cosmetic "Face-Lift". Recently Bill decided to cosmetically overhaul and modernize his Laundromat and this has achieved great results. Past Experience Bill Gerardi's business experience has been from operating a successful wine & liquor store for 43 years in the high end community of Stamford, Connecticut. Bill first got into the Laundromat business when my father sold him our Laundromat that was in the same shopping center as Bill's liquor store. Bill found that he loved the Laundromat business and eventually acquired 2 more stores. Bill moved his focus from the liquor business to Laundromats, thus allowing Bill to play with his Laundromats and his sons to make their own mark in the liquor business. Modernization Bill has over the course of several years, modernized the laundry equipment in his Norwalk Laundromat but had never done anything to the décor of the store. Last year, Bill had some new competition come into his market and he saw his business start to drop. Business had fallen and it looked like it could drop even further when Bill decided that he needed to do something to keep his customers. Bill decided that the 1980's "look" of his Laundromat had to go and be decided to overhaul the image of the Laundromat. Bill had an interior designer match the New colors for the tiles, walls and folding tables. Bill tiled over the 1960's red quarry floor tile with a light colored porcelain tile and carried a matching tile 4 foot up on all of the exposed walls. Bill also tiled the washer slabs and this tile work set the stage in dressing up the entire store. An added benefit is that the wall tile now protects the walls from marks & damage due to laundry carts and heavy customer traffic. Bill also replaced the existing washer covers with nice new clean looking covers with decorative trim. Bill replaced all of the folding tables with a more colorful design. The hardest problem Bill encountered was that the original lights had all of the diffusers removed creating a bare bulb look. Bill had a real challenge finding the correct size lighting diffusers to cover his existing lights. Results As you can see in the
before & after photos, Bill has done a terrific job in modernizing his
Laundromat and making it bright and more appealing. A side benefit is that the
Laundromat is easier to keep clean due to the all the tile work and now Bill
looks forward to visiting the Laundromat. It makes him feel proud to own and
operate this store. The store cosmetic overhaul has translated in a net 5%
overall increase in Laundromat revenue and more appreciative laundry customers.
Bill figures that with some simple promotions for this un-attended Laundromat,
that he can increase his business even further. Now that Bill has seen the
results of the new "look" and the resulting customer appreciation, he plans to
clean-up his other Laundromats. Cleaner nicer looking Laundromats have greater
customer draw & customer appeal and have greater profits. www.HKLaundry.com |

Survey: 2012 Was Good Year for
Many Coin Laundries
Sprucing up stores, raising prices among 2013 plans - CHICAGO — More than half of respondents to this month’s AmericanCoinOp.com Wire survey say business was good (39.3%) or even great (14.3%) last year, while another 28.6% say 2012 business was average. The remainder—17.9%—call it below average. Regardless of how their individual business fared, 58.6% say 2012 turned out as they expected. Thirty-one percent didn’t expect last year’s business results, and 10.3% weren’t sure what to expect in 2012. Respondents were asked to list the best thing that happened to their laundry
in 2012. There some expected responses, such as increasing or maintaining sales,
adding commercial business, attracting more customers and putting in new
equipment. Some mentioned the closing of nearby competitors. And how about the worst thing to happen last year? The increasing cost of
utilities, dealing with competition, and the re-election of Barack Obama
received multiple mentions. So, what does 2013 hold for the respondents? They’re planning to spruce up
their stores (63.3%), raise vend prices (56.7%), add new washers and/or dryers
(50%), and do more marketing (40%). Shares of less than 10% will add other
equipment or another service. Ten percent don’t plan to make changes this
year. |
