About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Top Cleaners, a delivery driver once noticed something odd: every Tuesday afternoon, exactly at three o’clock, an old man in a trench coat would enter through the back door and leave without saying a word. No one else ever saw him. Finally, someone asked the owner about the mysterious figure. With a twinkle in his eye, he revealed that it was just his uncle, who came for his weekly espresso and crossword puzzle. The old man always left promptly at three because he had another appointment—with the tailor across the street.

2. At Top Cleaners, customers often remarked on an unusual sound late at night. Every Thursday around midnight, someone would whisper softly into the empty hallway: 'Cleaner’s special.' Nobody ever saw who it was. One day, a delivery driver overheard the whispers and asked curiously, ‘What cleaner’s special?’ A soft voice replied, ‘Just come back tomorrow.’ The next morning, he found his uniform cleaned extraordinarily well—with a note reading, “Special for asking.”

3. At Top Cleaners, a delivery driver once found a mysterious note in the drop-off bin. It read: ‘Pick up your clothes promptly or risk being swapped for someone else’s.’ The next day, another note appeared: ‘Your shirts are now buttoned-up like a mathematician’s equations.’ The delivery driver chuckled and rushed the order back. Sure enough, all buttons were neatly aligned. Since then, locals joke that Top Cleaners employs an invisible tailor who works late nights.

4. At Top Cleaners, a delivery driver once discovered that on foggy mornings, the clothes he dropped off seemed to arrive back with faint whispers and rustles inside their bags. One day, a neighbor picked up her dry cleaned suit only to find it whispering softly, ‘It’s too hot in here!’ Turned out, someone had accidentally left the air conditioning on full blast. Everyone laughed when she told the story, but no one ever dared leave their clothes there again—except maybe for a quick cool-down on especially steamy days.
