Our Story, Our Family

From military service to serving our community β€” learn how Southern Suds became the South East Georgia most trusted name in laundry and car care.

Our Story

Built on Service, Driven by Purpose

In 2015, after completing three tours of duty overseas, Danny Merritt returned home to Savannah with a vision: to build a business that embodied the values he learned in the military β€” discipline, excellence, and unwavering service.

What started as a single laundromat in Statesboro has grown into seven locations serving families across South East Georgia. But our mission has never changed: deliver exceptional service with genuine southern hospitality.

Today, Southern Suds is proud to be one of the region's leading laundry and car wash providers. We've washed millions of loads, detailed thousands of vehicles, and β€” most importantly β€” become a trusted part of our community.
