In the world of laundry, one mystery continues to baffle us all:

Disappearing socks.

On average, each person loses about 15 socks per year. 

Let’s assume each sock is worth $2.00 in the US alone. This equates to a staggering 1.3 billion socks, costing consumers approximately $2.6 billion annually.

What if we could turn this problem into a unique business opportunity?

The Lost Sock Wall

Consider a mural of "The Lost Sock Wall" in your local laundromat. This isn't just a display of mismatched socks; it's a conversation starter, a unique branding element, and a solution to the socks left over in your store.
