Jetz Service Co.

Jetz Service Co., Inc. supplies and services shared laundry equipment for apartment communities, condominiums, retirement and assisted living communities, hotels and motels, truck plazas, campgrounds, dry cleaners, laundromats and college housing, on either a lease or a sale basis.

The route lease is the core offer. Jetz visits each laundry room to take measurements, check utility connections and raise security concerns, then proposes the machine mix and lease structure. It says it will also review a property's existing and proposed lease agreements during a bid, even where it is not the winning bidder. Jetz owns all the equipment it places and repairs or replaces machines that fail; it also rents in-unit side-by-side and stackable washers and dryers at fixed monthly rates, and sells equipment outright. Machines are coin-, card- or mobile-activated, ship with PayRange installed, and report through an online portal showing income, commissions, machine counts and service history. Residents get refunds directly, and the company advertises no admin or technology fees.

The company traces its start to the F-5 tornado that struck Topeka, Kansas on June 8, 1966, and the apartment construction that followed it. Its home office is in Topeka, and it lists branches in Kansas City, Wichita, Omaha, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Colorado Springs, each with its own service email and account manager. Service technicians are expected to restore a laundry room the same day or by the next business day.

Commission and revenue-share terms are not published, so ask for them in writing alongside the proposed machine mix. Jetz also runs an appliance store selling Amana, Maytag, Whirlpool and KitchenAid units, which is a separate purchase from a laundry room lease.
