About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Highland Laundry one morning, only to discover a strange package wrapped in brown paper sitting on the loading dock. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and carried it inside, noticing an old-fashioned note scribbled on the side: ‘For safekeeping until Monday.’ The delivery driver carefully placed the mysterious package under the counter, deciding to wait until Monday. Come closing time, everyone gathered around, laughing as they unwrapped it—a pair of ancient, mismatched socks with a note reading: 'Please return to their rightful owner.' Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

2. A customer asked the dry cleaner one day: ‘Why is it always so quiet here in the evenings?’ The owner replied, ‘Because everyone’s clothes are already clean.’ Then a delivery driver walked in and said, 'I’ve never understood why you’re always closed on Sundays.' The owner smiled and answered, 'That’s because everyone gets their clothes cleaned just before Sunday!'

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Highland Laundry and noticed something odd: the sign outside now read, 'Closed for Mystery Shopping.' The delivery driver knocked on the door but got no response. Curious, he walked around back and found an old man watering flowers. ‘Anybody home?’ asked the driver. The man looked up, smiled, and said, ‘Just doing some mystery shopping myself.’ With that, he went back to his gardening, leaving the delivery driver scratching his head.

4. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Highland Laundry, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone! Your shirts are now officially ironed with the gentle touch of our newest employee—Mr. Ironing Arm!' Curious, the delivery driver peeked inside and saw nothing but empty shelves and a lone robotic arm humming softly. ‘Mr. Ironing Arm, reporting for duty!’ it chirped cheerfully. The next day, neighbors noticed their clothes arriving folded perfectly, accompanied by tiny thank-you notes signed by ‘Your Friendly Fabric Helper.’
