Sudsville Laundry

Sudsville Laundry is an independent self-service laundromat operator with a longstanding presence in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas. The company was founded in 1980, opening its first location in Baltimore, Maryland. Over the past forty-five years, Sudsville has steadily expanded its footprint, operating 12 locations as of November 2025. Its stores are concentrated in Maryland and the D.C. suburbs, with a particular focus on the Baltimore-Washington corridor.

A pivotal moment in Sudsville’s history was the launch of its flagship 24-hour laundromat in Laurel, Maryland, which became one of the largest facilities of its kind in the region. This milestone underscored Sudsville’s commitment to offering large-format, high-capacity laundry services and set a benchmark for convenience and scale in the Mid-Atlantic market. In the last five years, the company has continued to modernize its facilities, upgrading equipment and enhancing the customer experience to maintain its reputation for cleanliness and reliability.

Sudsville Laundry remains privately owned and operates without a parent company or franchise structure. The company’s approach emphasizes long-term stability, with a preference for securing extended leases in shopping centers and mixed-use developments. Sudsville targets both suburban and urban infill sites that offer strong visibility, ample parking, and proximity to densely populated residential areas. Its locations are often situated in high-traffic retail corridors, frequently alongside grocery stores and other daily-needs retailers, which helps drive consistent customer flow.

As of November 2025, Sudsville is actively seeking new sites in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and Northern Virginia. The company’s disciplined expansion strategy prioritizes communities with growing populations and limited laundry competition. With a lean management team and a track record of operational excellence, Sudsville Laundry is recognized as a stable, credible tenant that brings steady traffic and long-term value to shopping centers and mixed-use projects throughout the region.
