The Ultra-Mat Family Laundry Center, offered exclusively by Tri-State, may be one of the best new business concepts available today. We've taken one of the oldest and simplest business ideas and repackaged it with today's technology and marketing to meet the growing consumer demand for safe, attractive and affordable self-service laundry centers. The result is a powerful and proven business concept that offers a multitude of advantages for the savvy business and real estate investor.

The Ultra-Mat Family Laundry Center appeals to specific demographics that can be readily identified within most markets and offers a wide array of benefits to the user. But it's also a unique opportunity to create significant business income that can be used to offset real estate investment expenses while providing additional income for the owners. The result is a real business that builds equity now and in the future. Check out the information in this section to see how you can participate!

The Un-Franchised Business Opportunity

The Ultra-Mat Family Laundry Center is not a franchise but may be the perfect opportunity for investors and operators who want the business benefits of a franchise without the continuing financial commitment or operational restrictions found in other investment choices.

We offer a comprehensive program for qualified individuals to own the land and facility while operating their own Ultra-Mat business. We take you through every step of the process and provide a complete package of turnkey services. These services typically include the following steps:

• Researching demographics for site selection for your market.
• Identifying site selection opportunities within the designated market.
• Determining the appropriate size of the business and forecasting volume.
• Providing design services for the facility.
• Specifying equipment, utilities and value-added features including electronic card systems.
• Assisting with construction design and project construction.
• Planning the Grand Opening and providing ongoing marketing support.
• Delivering ongoing service for equipment.

If you're interested in reaching an enormous yet untapped market, you've decided that the rewards of owning your own business are for you and that preparing for your financial future is important, then we invite you to consider being a part of the Ultra-Mat Team!
