Start a Laundry Franchise in Thane District
Wash Kiya, India's laundry solutions company, works with partners in Thane in three ways: a staff-operated laundry franchise, a self-service laundry franchise, or the supply of laundry machines and equipment.
Thane sits in Maharashtra and, with about 80.7 lakh people in 2011, is the 3rd most populous of the 36 Maharashtra districts with 2011 figures. The district headquarters is Thane; Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai and Mira-Bhayandar are other towns where a partner could look for space.
Localities such as Dombivali, Padgha, Bhayander West and Dandekarwadi fall within Thane. Quote your pincode when you get in touch so the team can review the location.

Thane towns and franchise enquiries
Wash Kiya welcomes franchise enquiries from Thane, Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai, Mira-Bhayandar, Bhiwandi and Ulhasnagar, and from smaller places across Thane.
Inclusion here is about where you can enquire from; the team confirms whether your part of Thane is available.
Choosing a model for your location in Thane
The right model depends less on the district as a whole and more on the kind of place you have in mind within Thane.
Staff-operated store (FOCM)
Investors who want a full laundry store rather than a machine room should look at Thane and places such as Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai and Mira-Bhayandar. The staff-operated FOCM franchise starts from ₹10 lakh.
No-staff laundry on your premises
Self-service laundry is designed for closed communities: hostels and colleges, building campuses and private societies. A Thane property of this kind can host one from ₹20 lakh, with no staff required.
Laundry machines & equipment
Laundry businesses already working in Thane can upgrade through Wash Kiya's machine and equipment supply, which is separate from the franchise models.
| Setting | Suggested Wash Kiya model |
|---|---|
| District headquarters: Thane | Staff-operated laundry franchise (FOCM) |
| Other towns: Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai and Mira-Bhayandar | Staff-operated franchise; self-service where there is a campus or society |
| Existing laundry operators in Thane | Laundry machines & equipment supply |
