About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroner Dry Cleaners and said, 'I’ve been delivering here for years, but today something feels different.' He looked around, noticing that the usually bustling street had become eerily quiet. As he opened the door, an old man in a tweed suit emerged from inside, waving cheerfully. ‘Morning!’ he called out. ‘Same old service, same old prices.’ The delivery driver relaxed. Turned out it was just Mr. Kroner himself, who’d been working there longer than anyone could remember. A smile spread across his face as he thought, ‘Maybe I should deliver here more often—you never know what you’ll find.’
2. A customer dropped off her laundry one afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small envelope with no return address. Curious, she picked it up and found inside an old photograph of someone smiling into the camera. She asked the owner if he had any idea whose picture it might be, but he just shrugged and smiled enigmatically. The next day, another customer—a delivery driver—asked about the mysterious photo. The owner grinned and said, 'That’s my great-grandma, taken in 1958.' He added, ‘She always wore that smile when doing laundry.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the photo was just a family heirloom left behind. Since then, Kroner Dry Cleaners has become known for its quirky charm.
3. A few weeks ago, a curious neighbor asked: ‘Why does Kroner Dry Cleaners always smell like someone’s baking cookies?’ Turns out, every Friday afternoon an elderly gentleman named Mr. Anderson would bring in his favorite sweater for cleaning. He had a secret recipe for cookie dough that he kept in his car trunk and baked exactly during those times when his sweater was being cleaned. The whole neighborhood thought it was just another quirky local legend—until they finally tried one of Mr. Anderson’s famous chocolate chip cookies.
4. A new employee started working at Kroner Dry Cleaners and kept asking customers, ‘Would you like your clothes pressed with our special Kroner magic?’ One day a delivery driver picked up his shirts and asked curiously, ‘What’s this funny smell?’ The manager shrugged, sniffed, and replied, ‘That’s just our secret ingredient—Kroner magic!’ Turns out it was actually lavender oil. Ever since then, whenever someone complained about their clothes smelling funny, the manager would wink and say, ‘Ah, that’s our little Kroner secret.’
