About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when Buena Coin Laundry was supposed to be quiet and empty, a strange humming noise began echoing through the building. A late-night delivery driver noticed it first, but dismissed it as an old machine coming back to life. Curious, he peered inside and saw a small, dusty coin slot glowing softly. Inserting a quarter, he heard the ancient machines whir to life with a nostalgic clank. Suddenly, a pile of freshly folded clothes appeared, neatly arranged on a nearby rack. The delivery driver grinned, realizing Buena Coin Laundry had just given him a free load of laundry—perhaps its own way of saying thanks for his hard work.

2. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Buena Coin Laundry and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he muttered, ‘why is that lady counting quarters in the parking lot?’ Curious, he approached her. ‘Excuse me, ma’am,’ he asked, ‘what are you doing?’ She smiled warmly. ‘Oh, I’m just counting my lucky quarters for happy weekend!’ Turning back to him she added, ‘You should see what they charge here—every coin counts!’

3. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Buena Coin Laundry with a box full of freshly laundered shirts. As he approached the door, he noticed an old lady folding clothes in the corner, but she wasn’t there before. As he bent down to open the door, the old lady giggled and said, 'Just helping out, dear!' Turns out, she was a regular volunteer who popped in every week to lend a hand. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, thinking maybe next time he'd bring her some cookies for her trouble.

4. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Buena Coin Laundry with an unusual load. As he unloaded boxes, a curious neighbor asked, ‘Hey, what’s in those crates anyway?’ The delivery driver smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, just some special orders for our regular customers.' The neighbor shrugged it off, thinking nothing of it. Little did they know that those mysterious crates contained nothing more than oversized t-shirts and out-of-date flyers from local businesses. By Monday morning, everyone in town was wearing free promotional gear.
