I'll repeat the bar/bistro suggestion. We used to have a laundromat named "Suds & Suds." The bar was quite good, with great character and round-the-world awards if you could ever make it through their selections. Not sure what happened to them. Vanished sometime in the years I was out of state.
As for the basics, keep the dryers calibrated. It's frustrating when different dryers on the same setting with the same number of quarters give wildly different results.
Chairs, maybe with college desk fold-ups, a TV with Oprah V-chipped (maybe headphone jacks), WiFi, and Food. Deli style? Beverages & food could make as much as the laundry.

The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
