Speakers

Waleed Cope is a second-generation laundry operator and Co-Founder of VIP Bubbles and The Soap Box in Brooklyn, NY. He’s spent over twenty years in the business — running self-service locations, building wash-dry-fold operations, and becoming one of the first operators in the country to use gig economy drivers exclusively for pickup and delivery in laundry and dry cleaning. His approach to hospitality-driven operations helped grow a new location to 10+ turns per day within its first year, without traditional marketing.

 

Waleed co-founded the Laundry CEO Forum, the national gathering for owners, operators, and investors in the laundry industry, and publishes Wash Weekly, a weekly publication for laundry operators who want to out-think, not just out-work, their market. He speaks at industry events across the country on client loyalty, differentiation, and operating a laundry business at a high level.
