About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Sable Coin Laundry and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside. He shrugged it off as he unloaded the bags of coins, but when he opened the door, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafted out—an aroma that had never been there before. As he followed the scent deeper into the laundromat, he found an old lady folding clothes with a big smile on her face. She explained she’d been baking cookies for the staff since no one ever visited them. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and thought, ‘Now that’s a place I’ll definitely come back to!’

2. A neighborhood kid asked one day: ‘Why does it take longer for my clothes to dry here than anywhere else?’ No one knew for sure, but everyone started noticing... Soon enough, an old man with a twinkle in his eye said, 'Why, sonny, it's because these machines are magical! They use special water from the river that runs beneath our city.' And ever since then, nobody questioned why their shirts took so long—everyone just smiled and waved at the mysterious delivery driver who always seemed to appear right on time.

3. A regular dropped in after work, humming a tune as he fed quarters into the machines. Suddenly, an old lady approached him, waving a wrinkled dollar bill. ‘Excuse you,’ she said, pointing at his jeans. ‘Didn’t you forget this?’ He looked down and burst out laughing—his change for the wash was a silver coin from 1976.

4. A delivery driver arrived at Sable Coin Laundry one afternoon with a box of detergent. As he approached the counter, he overheard an unusual conversation between two customers. The first customer was complaining, ‘Why does my shirt always come out looking like it’s been ironed by a drunk?’ The second replied, grinning, ‘Maybe because you’re washing it next to that guy who puts his socks in with the delicates!’ The delivery driver burst into laughter and thought, ‘Yup, this place is definitely worth visiting again.’
