About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver left early one morning, forgetting his lucky penny on the counter. For weeks, customers found it in their change or neatly placed inside dryer doors. Then, one day, an old lady picked up a quarter—only to discover it had been polished until it shimmered like gold. Soon enough, everyone started leaving coins intentionally for good luck. One day, a neighbor dropped off a nickel wrapped in tissue paper—it turned out to be his grandmother’s wedding coin! The owner displayed it proudly, and from then on, Squires became more than just a laundromat; it was a place where people shared stories, wishes, and even family heirlooms.
2. A neighborhood kid was folding clothes late one night when he noticed something strange: quarters were appearing out of thin air in one of the dryer compartments. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but empty space inside. Suddenly, a quarter popped up from beneath his nose! Thinking it might be some kind of trick, he called over an older gentleman who worked there. The man looked inside and shrugged, saying, ‘That’s just old Mr. Jenkins’ way of paying for his laundry.’ Turns out, the elderly customer had a mischievous sense of humor.
3. In an old laundromat called Squires Coin Laundry & Dry, a delivery driver once forgot a peculiar coin in the change tray. Ever since then, locals claim that if you leave exactly three quarters and a nickel in the machine after midnight, your laundry comes out perfectly ironed—whether it’s wrinkled or not. One night, a neighbor tried it with an old bedsheet soiled from a barbecue. To everyone's surprise, the sheet emerged not only wrinkle-free but also smelling like fresh-cut grass. Since then, some say the machine adds a touch of magic—or maybe just a little perfume from the owner's secret stash.
4. One day, while waiting for his shirts to dry, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you think the coins in here ever wish they could get out?’ The owner smiled knowingly and replied, 'Well, I reckon some of them might dream of dancing on park benches!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, muttering, “I’d give anything to see these quarters take a break.” Everyone burst into laughter.
