About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached A Little Laundry, he swore he heard someone humming an old-timey tune from inside. Curious but cautious, he parked and peered through the window—only to see no one there. Suddenly, a voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Next please!’ The delivery driver jumped back, startled, then realized it was just an empty shirt talking. From that day on, locals joked that A Little Laundry had a way of making even inanimate objects seem friendly.

2. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does everyone leave here with such big smiles?’ The cashier smiled knowingly and whispered, ‘Because they finally found their lost sock!’ Everyone who heard burst out laughing, including the regular, who sheepishly admitted he’d been searching for his missing pair for weeks.

3. One day, while sorting laundry in A Little Laundry, a customer noticed something odd—a small envelope tucked inside an old towel. Curious, they opened it and found…nothing but a single, crumpled piece of paper with a smiley face drawn on it. The customer showed the drawing to the owner, who shrugged and said it was probably just a prank from a regular. From then on, whenever someone found another mysterious smiley note, everyone joked that maybe A Little Laundry had its own secret smiley-laundry club.

4. While folding towels late one night, an employee at A Little Laundry thought they saw someone peeking through the window. Curious, she pretended to continue her work but sneaked glances outside. Finally, a voice called from beyond the glass: ‘Is that you, Mary?’ Turned out it was just their neighbor, who’d forgotten his house keys again. Everyone had a good laugh when he sheepishly walked in wearing only a towel.
