A Wave of Best Wash Laundromats coming to Memphis Best Wash Laundromats, a St. Louis-based 24/7 laundromat company, plans to open a dozen or more locations in the Memphis area. Best Wash has 17 sites open and 10 in the works across Missouri, Illinois and West Tennessee. Most recently, Best Wash opened in the 5,000-square-foot building formerly occupied by Regions Bank at 3558 S. Mendenhall Road. The company signed a 20-year lease with four five-year extension opportunities. The 10-year-old company hired Tom O’Hara, who focused on growing the laundromat business and expanding its presence. O’Hara said they are focused on similar metro areas like St. Louis and recreate what they built in the chosen city. “We have really been in an expansion and growth mode,” O’Hara said. “That’s what led us to Memphis.” O’Hara said by February, the company will have six Best Wash Laundromat locations. Frank Dyer III and Barry Maynard with Gill Properties represented both the landlord, GeStault Power Academy, and the tenant, the O'Hara family. Dyer and Maynard will facilitate leases for all Best Wash Laundromat locations. Two more locations are expected to open soon, including a 3,000-square-foot space at 2887 Covington Pike and a 5,452-square-foto space at 6819 Winchester Road. Over the next five years, Best Wash plans to open 25 to 30 locations. Dan Walker & Associates is the general contractor for the Memphis locations, with each site costing about $1.2 million to $2 million to build.
