Greencycle is a caf茅/laundromat chain concept that combines an energy efficient and ecologically friendly laundromat with a socially conscious caf茅 that offers organic foodstuffs and fair trade coffee. The caf茅/laundromat serves as a local community centre for postsecondary students, and provides a relaxing setting for people to dine on organic sandwiches and salads, sip fair trade coffee and converse while they await their laundry, study or meet with friends. Greencycle introduces a new way of doing laundry, offering customers a better, more enjoyable way to spend their time.
