About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Victoria Cleaners and noticed something odd: a faint, sweet scent wafting from the open door. Curious, he peered inside—and found no one but an empty room filled with old-fashioned machines humming softly. As he looked around, he heard a soft voice say, 'Welcome to our little world.' Turning sharply, he saw only dust motes dancing in the dim light. Smiling to himself, the driver shrugged it off as just another strange tale for his friends. That night, when he went home, his wife asked if he'd stopped by the cleaners—'No,' he replied, 'but I did meet an interesting ghost!'

2. One afternoon, an irate customer stormed into Victoria Cleaners, yelling, ‘My suit is ruined! It’s your fault!’ The owner calmly replied, ‘Sir, I’ve been here for twenty years, and that exact same suit has never come in before.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, holding a familiar-looking suit box. ‘Hey,’ he said sheepishly, ‘I think I might have accidentally dropped off his suit at your place yesterday.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the irate customer who realized it wasn’t even his suit after all.

3. One night, after closing hours, a delivery driver parked outside Victoria Cleaners and heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Your shirt is ready—please come collect it immediately.’ Curious, he rushed inside only to find the place empty except for a dusty old mannequin wearing a button-down shirt. The driver laughed nervously, picked up the shirt, and left. Months later, when his wife asked why their shirts always looked so perfect, he sheepishly admitted, 'I’ve been visiting Victoria Cleaners.'

4. One day, while dropping off a suit for pressing, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they use magic here?’ Since then, some customers claim their clothes return cleaner than ever, while others insist on bringing only items with silver threads. Finally, one day a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’ve found a secret formula!’ The next week, he picked up his shirts and found them not just clean but ironed into perfect creases—so sharp you could shave with them. Ever since, everyone jokes that Victoria Cleaners must have a magical iron hidden somewhere in their basement.
