About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers shuffled in for their weekly cleanings, an unfamiliar voice crackled over Chee Cleaners’ intercom: ‘Your shirts are pressed by someone who dreams of being a chef.’ A puzzled customer asked aloud, 'What does a chef know about ironing?' Suddenly, from the back room came another message: 'I dream of making your shirts dance like pasta!' The whole place burst into laughter, and Chee Cleaners became famous for its quirky announcements. Even the delivery driver joked, 'Next time I'll bring my own apron—maybe they’ll hire me instead!'

2. One afternoon, while a little girl waited impatiently for her mom’s suit to be cleaned, she noticed something odd: every time the old lady behind the counter took out a hanger, it seemed to float gently into place without any hands touching it. Finally curious, the girl asked the lady what was happening. With a twinkle in her eye, the old woman whispered, ‘It’s just my secret trick—when I say “magic”, everything aligns itself!’ The next day, when the girl told her friend about it, they both giggled and agreed that Chee Cleaners had the best magic in town.

3. One day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper and tied with twine. No one seemed to claim it. Curious, he opened it carefully, revealing an old-fashioned iron and some vintage ironing boards. Turns out, someone from the neighborhood had accidentally left them there for cleaning. Since then, Chee Cleaners became known as the place where even your great-grandmother’s clothes come back clean.

4. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Chee Cleaners, he paused mid-step—something odd caught his eye. A faint, sweet scent wafted from behind the counter, like someone had left a bag of freshly baked cookies. Curious, he followed the scent and found an old lady smiling warmly from behind the counter. ‘Oh,’ she said, “I bake those cookies for my grandkids every week.” The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another day in Chee Cleaners—a place where even dry cleaning could use a little bit of home-baked happiness.
