By: ACCESS Newswire

On-demand laundry program surges in adoption with live app, technology-driven laundromat support, and dedicated marketing expansion

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / MainStreetChamber Holdings, Inc. (OTCID:MSCH), a leading global provider of IP and brand licensing, today announced that kathy ireland® Laundry has achieved a significant milestone with licenses now secured in more than 100 markets across the United States. Since its introduction, the on-demand laundry program has grown at a remarkable pace, delivering convenience to customers while transforming the laundromat industry with technology-driven solutions.

Through its mobile app, customers are able to schedule pick-up and delivery services quickly and easily. Licensed laundromats are equipped with state-of-the-art software to track orders in real time, process payments securely, and manage operations more efficiently. To help partners thrive, each licensed laundromat is also supported by a dedicated marketing representative focused on customer acquisition. Target markets extend beyond residential customers to include commercial accounts such as universities, apartment complexes, multi-family housing, and Airbnbs, reflecting the program's strength in high-demand sectors.

This milestone comes amid rapid expansion in the global on-demand laundry services market, projected to grow from $30 billion in 2024 to more than $100 billion by 2030, representing a CAGR of over 35 percent according to industry sources. In the U.S., consumer demand is fueled by a preference for convenience, the growing adoption of technology in the laundromat sector, and the rise of e-commerce-style services. Leveraging the global recognition of Kathy Ireland® and a technology-first approach, the company expects kathy ireland® Laundry to continue building significant market share in the years ahead.

"Partnering with laundromat owners nationwide allows us to empower independent businesses, while offering customers the convenience they deserve. We are grateful to Marc, John, and the extraordinary team leading this effort, and share in the excitement of seeing kathy ireland® Laundry continue to grow as a trusted household service across America."

The laundromat industry is evolving rapidly into a technology-driven business, and those who adapt will capture the most market share. It's been exciting to watch the momentum Marc and his team have created."
