Corona Laundry and Dry Cleaners

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, a regular walked into Corona Laundry and asked curiously: ‘Why does my shirt smell like tacos after you clean it?’ The owner smiled sheepishly and explained that their cleaner was also a big fan of Mexican food. 'We use his jacket as a scent tester,' he joked. The customer laughed and left, never noticing how his shirts always smelled just right—like home.

2. A curious neighbor stopped by one morning and asked the owner: ‘How come your sign says “Cleaner Than Your Mom”?’ The owner smiled slyly and replied, 'Well, that's because I guarantee our service is cleaner than anything your mom could ever achieve!' The neighbor shook his head with a laugh, realizing he had walked into a clever marketing ploy—one that would now be talked about for weeks in the neighborhood.

3. A delivery driver dropped off a package one afternoon and noticed something odd: every time he approached the entrance, a small dog would run in circles around him, barking furiously but never once entering the building. Confused, the driver shrugged it off until it happened again the next day. Finally, on the third day, the driver decided to follow the little fellow. The dog led him into an alley behind the laundromat, where an old man was hanging clothes on a line. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, ‘your dog keeps running after my deliveries.’ The man looked up with a smile, replying, “Oh, that’s not my dog—just Corona Laundry’s resident weather reporter!”

4. A delivery driver arrived early one Monday morning with a large box for the owner's daughter. As he set it down, he noticed something peculiar—all the clothes in the display window were arranged alphabetically by fabric type. Curious, he asked around, and found out that every week an anonymous neighbor drops off a special load of clothes, meticulously sorted by fabric. It turns out, someone in the neighborhood has a thing for organization—and maybe even a bit of fun. The owner’s daughter laughed, saying, ‘Who knew our dry cleaner had such a secret admirer?’
