Competition
The laundry and dry/carpet cleaning industry in this market is characterized by a multitude of smaller, somewhat fragmented players and 6-7 medium sized, multi-store brand names. The offered company is by far and away the clear market leader in all key performance measures -- tenure, brand equity, size, geographic footprint, service menu, financial results, pricing power, and owner loyalty. The race for a distant second place are companies 25-30% the size of the market leader.

Potential for Growth
While the company has diversified its offerings over time, there are both: 1) service line extensions and 2) adjacent market geographic expansion options. The company has strong ownership of "residential and commercial cleaning" branding in this market which opens up expansion options into areas such as maid services, window cleaning, automotive detailing, or power washing, etc. Geographic expansion into large adjacent territories via leveraging of the existing service offerings and present brand equity is also another growth avenue.
