What this means when you are buying
Equipment brand and age are two of the biggest levers on a laundromat deal. Newer, high-extraction machines spin out more water, which cuts drying time and gas use, so a store with modern Dexter equipment often carries a lower utility bill than the square footage suggests. Older machines still earn, but you should price in the cost and timing of replacement and confirm that parts and local service are available.
Before you close, note the model and age of every machine, then run the numbers on what a re-tool would cost and how it would change cash flow. The manufacturer spec sheet gives you exact capacities and utility draw, and a distributor can quote current pricing and financing.
