What the data says about Kansas City

Kansas City's population has held steady since 2020. In stable markets the opportunity is in dense neighbourhoods where many households still lack in-unit laundry.

Unattended, app-based laundromats remove the two biggest frictions of the traditional model — carrying quarters and waiting around — which is exactly what renters in Kansas City expect from other services.
