About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A neighborhood regular stopped by Moore Cleaners one morning, carrying an armload of shirts and pants. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd—a stack of freshly pressed clothes seemed to move ever so slightly, as if they were breathing. The customer leaned in closer, half expecting to see a tiny washer-dryer hidden beneath the counter. Just then, the cleaner behind the desk chuckled and said, ‘Ah, those are just our special “breathing” shirts—we use them for VIP customers!’ The neighborhood regular laughed it off, shaking his head, but couldn’t help smiling as he left with his fresh laundry.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Moore Cleaners with a box marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he approached the counter, he noticed a sign that read: ‘Please leave classified documents here for safekeeping.’ The delivery driver shrugged and placed the mysterious box on the counter. Later that evening, an old gentleman came in, asked about the box, and said, 'Oh yes, I left my dry cleaning here.' Everyone laughed, including the neighbor who thought it was his forgotten lunchbox.

3. A neighbor walked into Moore Cleaners one afternoon, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ll never understand why they call it “cleaners” when everything here smells like someone’s trying to dry-clean a ghost.’ The neighbor shook his head and left, but not before overhearing an old lady whispering to her friend, ‘They must use special detergent for spirits.’ A delivery driver passing by chuckled and said, ‘Maybe that’s why they charge so much—you get what you pay for!’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Moore Cleaners one morning, unloading boxes from his truck. As he bent down to grab another bundle, something odd caught his eye—a strange contraption nestled among the laundry bags in the backseat. Curious, he picked it up—it was a small robot vacuum cleaner, still buzzing softly. A note attached read: ‘To Mr. Moore—thanks for your great service! Love, a happy customer.’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Now that’s dedication!’
