J & B Laundromat & Dry Cleaners

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the owner, ‘Why does my shirt always come out of J&B smelling like someone’s lunch?’ The owner smiled and replied, 'Ah, that's because your shirt spends more time with our dry cleaner than you do! But don't worry, I’ll give it an extra rinse.' The regular laughed and said, 'Thanks, I'll believe that!'

2. A delivery driver pulled up in front of J & B Laundromat one morning, fumbling with a stack of packages. As he reached for the door handle, he noticed something odd on the ground — an old coin purse, dusty and nearly invisible. He bent down curiously, opened it, and found several crumpled bills inside. With a smile, he thought, ‘Whoever lost this must be desperate.’ Little did he know that the owner was just a regular who always left her purse here after dropping off clothes. The next day, she sheepishly approached him saying, “I guess my purse has a GPS tracker!”

3. One morning, while loading his clothes into the washing machine, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the counter: an old, dusty hat with a note attached. Curious, he picked it up and read aloud, ‘To the next honest person who finds this.’ Smiling, he placed the hat in one of the empty machines and pressed random buttons. Soon enough, out popped not only clean clothes but also a basket filled with freshly baked cookies and a card reading, 'Thanks for being you!' That afternoon, everyone in the neighborhood stopped by J&B Laundromat to drop off their laundry—just to say hello.

4. One afternoon, a little girl pointed and giggled as she ran past the dry cleaner’s window. Her mother looked over curiously and saw nothing unusual—just rows of neatly folded shirts and pants. But every time she glanced back, the girl would laugh again, pointing at something invisible to everyone else. Finally, the curious mom walked inside and asked the owner what was causing her daughter's laughter. The owner smiled and said, 'Oh, that? That's just our secret folding technique.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been an innocent prank after all.
