About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were dropping off their clothes for cleaning, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the clerk, ‘Did you see that strange note on the door?’ The clerk replied, ‘No, sir, what does it say?’ The clerk peered outside and saw only a small piece of paper stuck crookedly on the glass. 'It says “Please return all shirts with buttons intact”,' he read aloud. A collective groan rose from the line behind him. The old man smiled knowingly and added, 'Guess they’ve had enough button mishaps!'
2. While folding laundry one afternoon, Maria overheard a delivery driver whispering into his phone: ‘I’ll be there in five… yeah, just dropped off another suit at Sloan’s.’ Curious, she asked him what he meant, and he replied, ‘Oh, you wouldn’t believe it—every time I leave something here, it magically appears on my doorstep later!’ Maria decided to test the theory herself, leaving an old tie behind the counter. A few days later, her husband found it hanging neatly in their closet with a note: 'Hope this fits!' Turned out, everyone in town was having their clothes cleaned—and delivered—by Sloan’s.
3. In the early hours of Monday morning, while sorting through freshly pressed shirts, a worker noticed something odd in the corner of the dry cleaner’s basket. It looked like an old, dusty coin. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be not just any coin but an ancient Russian kopeck from the Soviet era—complete with rust and a mysterious scratch on one side. Word spread quickly among the staff, who started joking that maybe their newfound treasure was a lucky charm for getting customers' clothes spot-free. Soon enough, someone suggested putting it in the cash register as good luck, and ever since then, Sloan’s has been known around town for its impeccable service—and perhaps a bit of magical coin.
4. While hanging up freshly cleaned shirts, a young employee heard an old lady muttering something about her husband’s favorite suit being ‘too clean’ for church. Curious, the kid asked who owned it. The old lady replied, 'That’s my husband’s best suit—he always wore it on Sundays.' Turns out, she wanted just a tiny bit of dirt or crease to make it look worn-in again. So, the cleaner added some subtle stains and wrinkles before returning it—just enough to satisfy her nostalgia.
