LG Electronics has opened a self-service laundry in New York equipped with only its products as it pushes to expand business-to-business sales in the United States.
The self-service laundry will be operated by Coinmach Corp., the largest laundry service in the U.S. According to LG Electronics, the company provides related services to more than 80,000 apartments and schools in the U.S.
“As the top brand in the U.S. market for washing machines used in homes, the company plans to continue the success into the commercial washing machine market,” said chief of LG’s U.S. operations Park Seog-won in a statement. He added that the company is in the process of expanding into other markets in the Americas.
The Korean electronics maker said that the self-service laundry, known as Laundry Lounge, is equipped with washing machines with 10 kilogram capacity that has high energy efficiency. The Laundry Lounge is also equipped with televisions and provides free internet access, and the company plans to set up 15 such establishments across the U.S. by the end of next year.
Not content with making phones, TV’s, washing machines and goodness knows what else and stating that they aim to be number one globally for home appliances LG now wants to move into a completely new market. Again.
Ultimately we will all be assimilated.
