About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Berthon’s Cleaners always smell like cookies?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, that's our secret recipe for success!' From then on, whenever anyone dropped off clothes, they couldn't help but wonder if their garments would come back smelling like freshly baked treats.
2. A little boy walked into Berthon’s Cleaners with his mother one day and stopped mid-step when he saw something odd on the counter. 'Mom,' he whispered, pointing, 'why is that lady holding a sock that talks?' The mother smiled gently, leaning down to explain, ‘Honey, it’s not really talking—it’s just an old sock from someone’s laundry.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before turning back towards the counter. A regular, overhearing their conversation, chuckled softly and said, “Actually, son, some of our shirts do talk—just not in socks.” Everyone laughed, and the boy left, happily clutching his clean clothes.
3. A customer exclaimed loudly as she picked up her freshly cleaned suit: ‘I thought I left my lucky tie here!’ The cleaner shook his head: ‘Ma’am, you never brought it in.’ The next day, an elderly gentleman collected his shirts and declared, 'I’m sure I dropped off a pair of socks!' The cleaner smiled knowingly and replied, 'Sir, those socks were retired last year.'
4. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Berthon’s Cleaners and noticed something unusual on the parking lot. Among the usual rows of clothes hangers, there lay an old, dusty umbrella. Curious, he bent down to pick it up—only to discover that it had been transformed into a tiny, perfectly tailored suit. Surprised but not fazed, the driver placed the miniature suit back where he found it and drove off. Later that evening, while hanging his own shirts, he noticed the same tiny suit dangling from one of the hangers. Turning around, he saw a neighbor admiring it with a smile. ‘Must be Berthon’s special touch,’ she said, laughing. The legend lives on.
