A Colorado vended laundry featuring Speed Queen's groundbreaking Quantum Gold control is the cover story of the June issue of The Journal.

The Washouse, a 2,000 sq. ft. store in Fort Collins, Colo., taps into the full potential of a networked Quantum Gold system. It offers customer-centric features such as 140 G-force extraction for reduced drying time and allows customers to check the availability of washers and dryers by posting its Wash Alert system on its Web site.
