Always on the hunt for ways to work smarter not harder, we put our heads together to create a reliable income stream for the Remote Laundries Project while protecting profits from the stores we manage. The solution? bottled water.

A popular and affordable product, our Remote Laundries branded water returns 24 cents per bottle more than products sold in stores in the past. All profits on water sales are split 50/50 between the stores and the laundry project. 

In 2021 we expanded our product range to include 1.5L bottles and a new label designed by Sam Autio, a longstanding employee at our Casuarina laundry.

Overall our laundries water is cheaper to buy and produce, which is where the profits margins come into play. Another upside is that our branded water is locally sourced through Territory Spring Water so we’re supporting Territory business.  

Why water? 

We chose water as a viable product for four reasons: 

1. It enables support for an Aboriginal lead community project and provides the opportunity for community members to support and participate by buying our water. 
2. Water aligns with our objectives of promoting health. We understand the benefits of drinking water and want to encourage people to do more of it. 
3. It helps to promote the Remote Laundries project brand without impacting store profits. Selling Remote Laundries water has a neutral effect on profits for the store because the cost of laundry water is less than water sold in the past. 
4. It’s a consistently popular product so demand will always be high. 

Future of  Remote Laundries branded water
