Each year, businesses with fewer than 75 employees are recognized for their creativity, vitality, stability and relevance. Equally important in selecting winners are civic involvement and responsiveness, mentoring, corporate responsibility, employee recognition and concerns regarding service issues.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cReceiving this award is really a tribute to the many people who supported this business \u2013 a great staff and management team, support businesses in the area, family and, of course, the customers, many of whom I have known for years.\u201d said Ken Barrett, president and founder of Washin Coin Laundry and Golden Springs Laundry Company.<\/p>\n Barrett started Washin Coin Laundry in 2010 with one location in Anniston, Ala. In 2011, he expanded with the acquisition of a second Anniston laundromat. However, with continued growth and limited space, Barrett added a third store, buying and renovating a facility in Oxford, Ala.<\/p>\n Since then, Barrett has opened two more vended laundries \u2013 giving him three stores in Anniston and two in Oxford. In addition, he established Golden Springs Laundry Company last year, which is a laundry pickup\/delivery service for the area.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Ken is focused on making a difference in the Anniston\/Oxford communities in which he serves, as evidenced by recent book drives and other childhood literacy and learning activities at his laundries.<\/p>\n \u201cWe provide a basic necessity for good health, which is clean clothes,\u201d Barrett explained. \u201cBut we also want to be seen as a supporter of the community. Our focus now is on the children of the community and helping to build their futures through literacy.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alabama\u2019s Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center recently recognized Washin Coin Laundry\/Golden Springs Laundry Company with the organization\u2019s 2019 Sustaining Small Business Award.
