By offering on-demand laundry services, conveniently accessible through the app, Mr Jeff aims to alleviate the stresses of the working population by doing their laundry in a time-efficient and reliable manner. Franchising its on-demand laundry and dry-cleaning services across EMEA and Egypt is a key component of the company’s growth and development strategy and aligns with its focus on international expansion into 30 countries in 2019 in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

As the company’s innovative laundry and dry-cleaning model continues to grow, the Spanish startup also announced it will be changing its corporate brand name to Jeff, taking the first step to becoming a super services app. The new name stems from a change in the Jeff business model to become a multiservice platform or “super app”, offering users everything they need in just one click.
