The washday spin doctors
Article Abstract:
The three Nicell brothers, who have set up the Duds'n Suds launderettes in Derry, Belfast and Southsea, believe that they have started a revolution in the launderette industry. Their approach is to make their launderettes bright and attractive places for customers, moving well away from the image of launderettes as dirty, uncomfortable and boring. They offer facilities such as comfortable chairs, refreshments and television, and prices have remained very competitive.
