About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he unloaded wet clothes from the truck. ‘Why does Mr. Tuttle always get the best coffee?’ As he approached Tuttle’s door, he noticed an aroma so strong it made him sneeze. Inside, Mr. Tuttle smiled and offered him a steaming cup. 'Coffee first, then business,' he said with a twinkle in his eye. The driver shook his head but took a sip—best coffee ever. That’s why he always got the best coffee.

2. One afternoon, an irate customer stormed into Tuttle’s Dry Cleaners, demanding to know why his suit had shrunk two sizes during the night. ‘It must be magic!’ tutted Mrs. Jenkins next door, who’d just come out for her daily walk. The owner, Mr. Tuttle, scratched his head and shrugged, replying with a smile, 'Maybe it was our special shrink-free formula?' The customer shook his head in disbelief as a delivery driver chuckled from behind, whispering to no one in particular, 'Must’ve been that new eco-friendly detergent they started using last week.' And thus, Tuttle's Dry Cleaners became known around town not only for their magical shrunken suits but also for their friendly banter and good-natured humor.

3. One day, while picking up his shirts, a businessman asked Tuttle's staff, ‘Why does my collar always look like it’s been nibbled on?’ With a twinkle in his eye, one of the workers replied, 'Sir, that's not nibbling—your shirt has been flirting with our dry cleaner!' The businessman laughed and left, shaking his head, but smiling. From then on, whenever someone picked up their clothes, they’d ask, 'Did my shirt get any dates last night?'

4. One night, a neighbor complained loudly outside Tuttle’s Dry Cleaners: ‘Why do they always leave those plastic bags on the sidewalk?’ Suddenly, an old man appeared from inside, waving a broom. 'They're not ours,' he chuckled. 'Just our special thank-you gifts for delivering clean clothes!' The neighbor blinked and shook his head, muttering something about strange dry cleaners before wandering off.
