The concept of the laundry shop was first initiated by Mister Bubbles in 2003, when there was only a few commercial self-service laundries—a.k.a. “wash-a-terias” or “Laundromats.” Public laundry rooms or washaterias were usually nowhere seen other than in dormitory buildings or in a school neighborhood. And normal commercial washaterias were mostly characterized by dim lighting and clunky machines.
Several large self-help laundries appeared in the North of Taiwan, despite the less than expected usage. Given our studies on this circumstance, we decided to have people stationed in these self-service stores to help out with professional services of easy laundry and dry cleaning. Mister Bubbles was then born to be a provider of professional self-help laundry service in the hopes of giving consumers maximum satisfaction with their laundry experience.
