About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, while a delivery driver was dropping off laundry bags, he heard an eerie voice over Comet Cleaners’ intercom: ‘Your clothes are ready—folded with perfect precision.’ Curious, the driver approached the counter in the morning only to find everything locked tight and no sign of life inside. But when he checked his car, every single item was perfectly folded and arranged just as the voice had promised. From then on, whenever someone needed their clothes cleaned urgently, they’d whisper, 'Just leave it at Comet Cleaners—they always deliver!'

2. One day after school, a little girl walked past Comet Cleaners and noticed something odd: every time she approached, the door seemed to open on its own, just wide enough for her to peer inside. Inside, she swore she saw clothes floating in mid-air, moving like they were dancing. Finally curious, she told her mom, who went in with her. Inside, everything was normal—until Mom’s favorite dress started spinning around on its own accord! They both laughed, realizing it was just an old trick used by the friendly owner to attract customers. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghostly sightings, everyone smiled and said, ‘Just another day at Comet Cleaners.’

3. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Comet Cleaners with a heavy bag of laundry. As he approached the door, he swore he saw a shadowy figure emerge from inside, dusting off their sleeves. The delivery driver paused for a moment, then knocked on the door. A gruff voice answered, ‘What now?’ It was just an old neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who’d been dusting his own jacket before heading out to work. The driver laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll leave it here.’ And that’s how Comet Cleaners earned its reputation as the place where your clothes get cleaned…and maybe a little dusted!’

4. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Comet Cleaners with a full truckload of laundry. As he stepped out, he noticed that the neon sign above the shop seemed brighter than usual. Curious, he reached for his phone to check the time—only to realize it was already set to midnight. The delivery driver knocked on the door, but no one answered. He decided to leave the packages inside and quickly drove off. Later that day, a regular customer complained that her favorite dress was missing. The owner checked the surveillance footage and saw only a shadowy figure carrying away a bag marked ‘dry clean only.’ It turned out to be just the neighbor, who thought it was his laundry night.
