Express Laundry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old lady whispered to her friend in line: ‘Did you hear? The dryer over there just finished folding itself!’ Her friend looked puzzled and glanced over. Sure enough, the dryer’s door opened gently, and a pile of neatly folded clothes emerged. For a moment, everyone stood still, watching in awe. Then someone from the back shouted, ‘Hey, that’s my shirt!’ A regular laughed and said, “Guess Express Laundry is getting smarter every day!”

2. One day, a regular asked his friend as they waited for their turn: 'Hey, do you remember that time when I found a quarter stuck in the dryer?' His friend laughed and shook his head. ‘You must’ve been hallucinating,’ he teased. The regular shrugged nonchalantly, grinning: ‘Nah, it was definitely there. Quarter’s worth of free drying, right?’ They both chuckled, watching as a delivery driver accidentally left his hat inside another machine.

3. One night, while folding clothes in the dim light of Express Laundry, a little girl pointed excitedly and said, ‘Mommy, look! The washing machine is dancing!’ Her mother smiled, leaning over to gently correct her: 'No honey, that's just the spin cycle.' They both laughed softly as another customer, a delivery driver, paused to ask if everything was okay. 'Oh yes,' replied the mom cheerfully, 'just our little laundromat dance party!'

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. As he approached, the box seemed to hum softly, almost like it was alive. Curious, he picked up his phone and took a picture of the box before calling out to a nearby colleague. Together they gingerly opened it, revealing nothing but a pile of freshly folded towels labeled 'Express Laundry'—a new shipment from the local laundromat. The store owner later admitted that their new folding robot had developed an unusual habit of leaving its signature greeting note inside each package.
