Building Relationships Over... Laundry

LaundryLounge: Elevating & Impacting the Local Community 

In an era dominated by endless “must do” tasks and lists that often feel as though they peak mile-high, Colorado Springs’ premier laundry service, LaundryLounge, is carving out a niche market for Coloradans. At once contemporary and immaculate, these mid-century modern laundry landscapes give community members a place to decompress, quietly and safely wash laundry, and build neighborhood relationships. 

“Everybody should be able to do laundry in a comfortable and safe environment,” says Keith Leimbach, LaundryLounge owner and investor. “We wanted a safe, comfortable, high-quality space.”

Working thoughtfully with an architect and designer, Leimbach and his team brought artful mood board visions to fruition. What stands out: polished concrete flooring, thoughtful lighting all wrapped in a clean, bright and welcoming family-friendly aesthetic, moving the laundry experience from undesirable, to quiet upscale. 

“We wanted to do something that is a little bit different,” Leimbach says.

Each of the three Colorado Springs locations houses sophisticated decor: big, beautiful windows allow for thoughtful, well-lit spaces, stainless steel appliances reflect updated architecture, and soft and modern hues elevate the status quo laundry spaces locals are accustomed to. 

Wi-fi, large-screen TVs (go Broncos!), free coffee and importantly, full-time staffing by team members on-site during business hours, provide a well-rounded approach to Colorado Springs’ laundry services. With both safety and aesthetics in mind, each LaundryLounge concept hopes to integrate all the best parts: affordability, safety and team-based impact, into each location. 

Expectation (& Laundry) Management 

From scheduling conflicts to impossible schedules, LaundryLounge provides both residential and commercial laundry services. From in-person, self-service laundry expeditions (watch the Avalanche dominate while you wait for your workwear), to free residential pickup and delivery and local commercial businesses around Colorado Springs, LaundryLounge accommodates every demographic. Drop-off daily laundry services free up more time for the overscheduled, and their vast service area spanning from Falcon to Peyton, Manitou Springs to Fountain, makes laundry pickup easier than deciding on dinner. 

Doing his part to build a brighter spot in the community, Leimbach mentions the importance of building community-focused businesses. His hope: that LaundryLounge’s easy, comfortable and enjoyable spaces encourage repeat clients, build familiarity and foster community loyalty.

“We want to create a great environment,” Leimbach says. “We are recognized for the strengths we have. We hope that we are exceeding expectations.”
