About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Centre Cleaners, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A regular would arrive with his cart, and every time he did, his small dog began barking wildly at something invisible behind the counter. One night, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of delicate shirts. As usual, the dog went nuts, but this time it was because a neighbour’s cat had climbed onto the counter. The owner calmly shooed both animals away, muttering under his breath that maybe next time they’d learn not to mess with Centre Cleaners’ canine security detail.
2. Late one Friday night, as the last few clothes were being folded, a soft humming started coming from deep inside Centre Cleaners' machines. No one paid much attention until it turned into a rhythmic tune—something between a lullaby and an old-time jukebox song. Soon enough, everyone in the store joined in, swaying gently with the music. Even the dryer started dancing, its door swinging open and closed in time. When morning came, the whole neighborhood was humming along. Turned out that every week on Fridays, Centre Cleaners’ machines played a hidden playlist—a little something for their late-night workers and neighbors to enjoy.
3. At Centre Cleaners, on those rare mornings when the sun barely peeked through the dusty windows, something peculiar happened. As the first rays touched the old ironing board, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure folding shirts with eerie precision. The delivery driver mentioned it to his colleagues, and soon everyone was talking about ghostly hands in the laundry room. One day, an old neighbor popped her head in and said, 'Oh, that’s just Maria—the best seamstress around!' Turned out she’d been helping out part-time after hours.
4. At Centre Cleaners, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does our best-smelling shirt always come back with someone else’s initials?’ Turned out, it was just an old joke between the owner and his staff—initials were randomly assigned for fun. The delivery driver laughed, realizing he’d been part of Centre Cleaners’ little urban legend.
