Yes, coin laundry equipment is very expensive.

For example HERE is a link to a site that sells USED equipment! Check out the sale prices for package deals! That does not include installation!

So while the family that owned the Alton laundromat could probably make a go of it, a new buyer with the expense of a mortgage and I will assume some equipment replacement costs, along with what some of you are saying is a less than ideal location...well it will probably not be a laundromat again.

Oh yeah, then there is the little issue of the boiler, can't hook up a 30 gallon hot water heater!
