Founder & President
NextGen Laundry Group
Building the Next Generation of Laundromats in Canada.
With 20 years of experience in Fortune 500 technology consulting, including progressively senior leadership roles, Shawn brings strategic business expertise and technology leadership together with firsthand entrepreneurial experience.
As Founder & President of NextGen Laundry Group, Shawn launched a 1,600-square-foot laundromat featuring 32 machines and completely cashless operating model with a modern client experience in 2024. Building and operating the business has given him firsthand insight into the investment, operational, and commercial realities of the laundry services industry in Canada.
Building a successful laundry services business in Canada requires a clear understanding of local market economics. Financing constraints, high development and operating costs, and a smaller addressable market all influence how a business must be structured to succeed. Shawn believes these realities call for thoughtful approaches to investment, operations, and revenue generation.
Through his advisory services, Shawn supports aspiring entrepreneurs and existing operators at different stages of their journey, helping them evaluate opportunities and build or evolve their businesses in ways that reflect their goals, resources, and vision.
His mission is to help Canadian entrepreneurs navigate the realities of the market and build stronger laundry services businesses.
