About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a small brown envelope taped to one of the cleaners' boxes. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old, crumpled note with just one word scribbled on it: 'Try.' The delivery driver shrugged, thinking it was some kind of prank. He took the envelope to his boss, who opened it curiously. Inside was another note, simply saying, 'Now what?' They laughed it off until a week later when they received another package—this time with a neatly folded shirt and a card reading, 'Dry cleaned perfectly.' Since then, whenever someone needed their clothes cleaned, they'd leave a mysterious note behind.
2. In the early afternoon, an employee stocking shelves in the backroom found an oddity among the hangars—an old, dusty hat with a faded label reading ‘Free.’ Curious, she picked it up and noticed something strange—a tiny note inside read: 'Take me home.' Turns out, it belonged to a regular who’d accidentally left it there weeks ago. Now, whenever someone forgets their hat, everyone jokes that 101 Dry Cleaners has its own secret customer.
3. One day, while dropping off clothes for cleaning, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t lose my pants again.’ Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned losing something here, the owner would reply with a mysterious smile and say, ‘Don’t worry, everything finds its way back!’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with an entire box of shirts. The owner looked at him curiously and asked, 'Are these all yours?' With a straight face, the driver replied, 'No, ma'am—just the ones I forgot last week!' From then on, whenever anyone lost something, the owner would wink and whisper, 'They’re probably hiding somewhere in our secret closet.' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, even the missing items seemed to find their way home.
4. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, he heard a faint voice whispering, ‘Finally, someone who understands my language!’ Curious, the driver followed the sound and found an old sewing machine humming gently in the corner. ‘Hey there,’ he smiled. ‘You must be one of those eco-friendly machines.’ The sewing machine nodded wisely and replied, ‘Just trying to help out around here.’ And from that day on, whenever anyone needed alterations or dry cleaning, both humans and vintage machinery worked together harmoniously.
