What the data says about Detroit
Detroit's population has held steady since 2020. In stable markets the opportunity is in dense neighbourhoods where many households still lack in-unit laundry.
Laundry is one of the few household chores that cannot move online. That makes a well-run neighbourhood laundromat a recurring, local habit.
First read: street stores plus apartment buildings
Detroit is big enough to combine visible street stores with shared laundry rooms in apartment buildings, building density across neighbourhoods. The final decision comes from a territory study done with you before signing.
