Prime Laundry Solutions

Prime Laundry Solutions Co., Ltd. (株式会社プライムランドリーソリューションズ) is a Japanese company that operates coin-operated laundromats and related laundry services. Its head office is in Haramachida, Machida, Tokyo, and it was established in November 2001. The company runs two main store brands: Coin Laundry Depot (コインランドリーデポ) and Bubble Basket (バブルバスケット). According to its own materials, it operates one of the largest directly operated coin laundry store networks in Japan, with a workforce of around 540 people including store instructors. The business is built around self-service laundromats that are open 24 hours in most locations, offering large drum-type washers and dryers capable of washing bulky items such as futons (Japanese bedding) and shoes. A distinguishing feature of the company's model is its insistence on staffed stores: each location is managed by a dedicated instructor who handles cleaning, customer service, and equipment maintenance under proprietary manuals. This is supported by a 24-hour, 365-day customer center that can respond to inquiries and even operate machines remotely when no staff are on site. Beyond store operation, Prime Laundry Solutions has expanded into a coin laundry business production service, using its operating track record to help others launch or run laundromats. Its stated mission is to improve the daily convenience of local residents, with a vision of becoming the number-one coin laundry in customer satisfaction. The company's values are summarized as Clean, Comfortable, and Customer First. The Bubble Basket brand positions itself as a more stylish, refined laundromat experience, with blue-toned interiors, free Wi-Fi, power outlets, and European-brand washing machines and dryers under the "Plymouth" (プリマス) name. Coin Laundry Depot emphasizes its staffed-store approach and comprehensive support. Both brands share the company's customer service infrastructure. Prime Laundry Solutions remains a private company with stated capital of 10 million yen. It continues to open new stores across Japan, as shown by its ongoing news releases announcing openings in locations such as Saitama, Kanagawa, and Niigata. The company is a notable player in Japan's coin laundry sector, which has grown as more households use self-service laundries for large items and as lifestyles change.

Prime Laundry Solutions Co., Ltd. was established in November 2001 in Machida, Tokyo, a suburban city in the western part of the Tokyo metropolitan area. The company was founded to operate coin-operated laundromats, a business model that was gaining popularity in Japan as more households sought convenient, large-capacity laundry facilities outside the home. The company's stated mission from the beginning has been to contribute to the improvement of daily convenience for local residents. Over the years, Prime Laundry Solutions built a network of directly operated stores under the Coin Laundry Depot brand. The company emphasizes a staffed-store model, with dedicated instructors at each location responsible for cleaning, customer service, and equipment maintenance. This approach differentiated it from many unmanned coin laundries. The company also established a 24-hour, 365-day customer center that can remotely monitor and operate machines, providing support even when staff are not present. At some point, the company launched a second brand, Bubble Basket, positioned as a more stylish and comfortable laundromat experience. Bubble Basket stores feature blue-toned interiors, free Wi-Fi, power outlets, and European-brand washing machines and dryers under the "Plymouth" (プリマス) name. This brand targets customers who value a pleasant waiting environment. By the 2020s, Prime Laundry Solutions had grown to operate one of the largest directly operated coin laundry store networks in Japan, with around 540 employees including store instructors. The company also began offering a coin laundry business production service, leveraging its operational expertise to help other businesses enter the market. The company continues to expand, regularly announcing new store openings across Japan. Recent news releases from 2026 mention openings in Saitama, Kanagawa, and Niigata prefectures, indicating ongoing growth. Prime Laundry Solutions remains a private company with capital of 10 million yen, led by Representative Director Ken Ariyama.
