Before TV shows and stardom, Chip Gaines made money doing laundry and gardening for college students
Chip Gaine has spoken in the past about the odd jobs he had before achieving stardom.
While a business major, Gaines created The Baylor Wash ‘N Fold, which was a laundry service for college students.
“The idea was: ‘Who hates laundry more than college kids?’ Nobody,” she said. “Then we came up with the idea of being the mother of her children outside the home.”
Gaines also stated in 2023 that he was into landscaping when he was 20 years old. “I talk a lot about the landscaping business, which introduced me to the home business,” he explained. “Basically, I made a little bit of money in a span of about two years when I was in my early 20s.”
At that time he indicated that he was ready to leave college and begin adult life. “I couldn’t have been 21, 22, half still in college, but also starting the process of, ‘Man, I hate school and I want to get out of here as soon as I can.’”
He then decided to start his landscaping business in Waco.
