About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ritz Cleaners and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a pile of shirts dancing in perfect rhythm on the dryer shelves. The shirts were moving so gracefully that the driver couldn’t help but tap his foot along with them. He knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Inside, the shirts continued their dance until suddenly they stopped mid-rhythm, turned into neatly folded clothes, and lined themselves up perfectly on the shelf. The delivery driver laughed it off as just another strange day in the neighborhood and went home, never mentioning what he’d seen.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ritz Cleaners with a box of freshly laundered shirts. As he approached the door, he heard soft laughter coming from inside—nothing unusual until he realized it sounded like someone whispering ‘clean’ over and over again. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old lady folding clothes in the dim light. She kept muttering, 'Clean, clean.' Turns out she was just Rita, the owner’s grandmother, who helped out part-time. The delivery guy laughed it off, thinking it was her way of saying hello. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts at Ritz Cleaners, everyone knew it was just Grandma Rita waving from behind the counter.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ritz Cleaners with a box. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘the dry cleaning I’ve been waiting for.’ But as he approached the counter, he heard a voice whispering from behind him: ‘Actually, sir, your clothes are ready… since last Tuesday.’ The delivery driver turned around, but saw only empty shelves and dusty racks. ‘Since when do you have ghost employees here?’ he asked aloud. Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind the counter and smiled warmly. ‘Oh, dearie,’ she said, ‘we’ve always done that for our regulars—just never told them!’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ritz Cleaners with a box. As he approached the counter, he overheard two employees whispering about a mysterious customer who always came in at midnight. Curious, the delivery guy pretended to leave but snuck back inside. He saw an old gentleman emerge from the back room, wearing nothing but his underwear and holding a basket of clean clothes. The neighbor next door had accidentally dropped off his pajamas instead of his own dirty laundry! Everyone had a good laugh the next day.
