About Us: A Legacy of Laundry
Laundry Lightning of Athens is a professional family-owned business serving residents and businesses in and around Athens, GA and the surrounding areas including Watkinsville, Statham, Bogart, and Winder.
The company began as the brainchild of Jerrel Kersey, an Athens native and long-time entrepreneur. He began his career as a businessman when he opened his first business, a shoe-cleaning service when he was a college student. Cleaning services are part of his family’s legacy.
As a grandson of a Georgia laundromat owner, Kersey grew up visiting his grandmother and watching his family operate a laundry service. He spent some of his summers working part-time for his grandmother in the laundromat where he learned the best practices and methods for washing and drying many kinds of garments and a wide variety of materials from delicate nylons to tough and durable industrial uniforms.
Now, as a third-generation laundry services provider, Kersey has struck out on his own, determined to continue the spirit instilled in him by a family legacy in laundry. Drawing on a lifetime of laundry expertise and combining it with 21st century technology, Kersey is taking laundry services online and challenging the status quo that has been a long tradition of wash houses in and around Athens, Georgia. Many of us enjoy the convenience of ordering everything from groceries to dog grooming services online. Why not order laundry pickup and delivery, too?
