Imagine Boulder Creek leading the US in tech.

Brandon Parker is a 3rd generation laundromat owner. He and his fiance Erin Hexem just opened a new kind of store in Boulder Creek, CA.

What’s new and different?

It’s one of the first “Smart Laundromats” in the US.

This is the first killer app in laundry.

There’s no coins!

There’s no buttons.

Parker claims the $5 Billion dollar laundry industry is stuck in 1950.

He’s changing that. Parker says,

“Laundromats were left behind by technology because they seem simple. That’s why I love it. I’m using tech to change everything you hate about laundromats.”

Picture yourself collecting your quarters prepping to pay for wash.

-Why not walk up to a machine and pay with a phone?

-Why not get rid of all the buttons?

Why not eliminate dirty cash transactions?

Why not earn rewards every time you wash?

Why not get notified by phone when your wash is done?

Washing your clothes should be as easy as shopping on Amazon.

The Mat in Boulder Creek just brought this dream to life in epic fashion.

Boulder Creek laundry goers are some of the first people in the US to experience it.

Boulder Creek Elementary kindergarten teacher Rachael Dahl said,

“I can’t believe every laundromat isn’t like this. I bet this is the easiest laundromat in the country.

Just like many things in our lives, laundry will never be the same… and it started in the woods of Boulder Creek.
