Coin Laundry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver left early one morning, forgetting his lucky coin on the counter. Overnight, it seemed to multiply—appearing in pockets of every customer who used that Coin Laundry. Soon enough, everyone in town had a little luck-bringer in their pocket. A regular started leaving coins everywhere he went, thinking they were his own good fortune. Finally, someone noticed and asked if he’d lost something—a tiny, shiny coin with no markings. Turns out, it was just another freebie from Coin Laundry’s mysterious multiplier effect.

2. In the dead of night, when most laundromats sleep, Coin Laundry hummed with an unusual energy. A neighborhood cat had taken it upon itself to patrol the premises, meowing insistently whenever anyone entered. One evening, a delivery driver arrived to drop off supplies. The cat bounded over, meowed loudly, and jumped onto his shoulders, insisting on joining him inside. Soon enough, everyone in the laundromat was laughing as the cat sat proudly on the counter, supervising the washing machines like their very own boss.

3. In a small town in the Midwest, there lived an old Coin Laundry run by Mr. Jenkins. One day, as he counted change after closing hours, he muttered under his breath, 'If only these quarters could do some real washing!' And ever since then, every now and then, customers would swear they saw coins floating gently through the dryer. One evening, a delivery driver noticed something strange—coins were appearing outside the laundromat, neatly arranged on the sidewalk. Curious, he followed them back inside and found nothing but empty machines. Word spread quickly among locals, who began leaving their coins with Mr. Jenkins for safekeeping. Soon enough, people joked that Coin Laundry was actually ‘Miraculous Change Depot.’

4. In a quiet neighborhood of Chicago, a Coin Laundry stood like any other. But late one autumn night, a neighbor passing by swore they heard someone laughing softly inside. Curious, the neighbor peeked through the window and saw only empty machines and spinning dryers. The laughter grew louder, until finally, an old coin clattered into the change slot—just another customer finishing their laundry. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver playing a prank on everyone.
