About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Express Laundromat, a regular shouted one day, ‘I just saw something I ain’t never seen before!’ Everyone stopped folding clothes and turned around. A delivery driver was walking out, carrying an armload of clean shirts—and a small potted plant on top.’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just a tiny succulent in a plastic pot. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and said, ‘Hey, plants are part of my uniform now.’ From then on, whenever someone mentioned Express Laundromat, people would chuckle and say, ‘That’s where they wash your clothes…and sometimes your plants too!’

2. At Express Laundromat, an old lady exclaimed one morning, 'Did you see that guy trying to dry his socks on the ceiling?' The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Jenkins from next door. He always finds creative ways to dry his clothes.’ The old lady shook her head with a smile, and someone in line muttered, ‘Guess he forgot the tumble-dry setting again!’

3. At Express Laundromat, a delivery driver once found an oddly familiar wallet in the basket of an empty shopping cart. He shrugged it off until he recognized his own ID inside. Confused and amused, he rushed back to the laundromat just as another delivery driver was leaving with a similarly familiar package. Turns out, they’d both accidentally swapped deliveries that day. With a laugh, they shook hands and agreed never to leave their IDs on company property again. "Welcome to Express Laundromat," one joked, “where your belongings are always clean—if not exactly yours.”

4. At Express Laundromat, a young mother asked her friend one day, ‘Have you ever seen someone doing their laundry while talking to themselves in Russian?’ Her friend shook her head with a smile and replied, ‘No, I haven’t.’ Just then, an older gentleman walked in, humming softly as he sorted his clothes. The young mom whispered, ‘That’s our neighbor—every Tuesday he comes here wearing the same shirt, singing along to some old Russian song.’ They both laughed, realizing that sometimes life in the laundromat can be just as entertaining as it is mundane.
