Laundry pickup-and-delivery service HappyNest – based in East Greenwich, R.I. – has been named a recipient in Rhode Island Inno’s 4th annual Inno on Fire awards program, which recognize companies sparking innovation to help drive the tech ecosystem within the region.

“We are thrilled to be boosting business for our 51 – and growing – laundromat partners who have added or enhanced pickup-and-delivery laundry services through HappyNest,” said John MacKrell, CEO and founder of the service, which is now available in 23 states and Washington, D.C. “It’s exciting times as we continue to expand and support our partners’ busy residential and business customers who simply do not have time for laundry. Our thanks to Rhode Island Inno for recognizing HappyNest as heating up the local economy.”

HappyNest has seen a 400 percent increase in customer signups for its pickup-and-delivery laundry service and a 200 percent increase in laundromat partner agreements over this time last year. The company said it expects growth and expansion to continue, since demand for the service is increasing.

For the last four years, the awards have been selected by the Inno editorial team and honor 25 companies and organizations “setting the local innovation economy ablaze.”

This year’s awards celebration will be held virtually on June 2.
