About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Plaza Cleaners, customers started noticing something peculiar one morning. As soon as they walked in, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: 'Your shirt is missing a button—will you please come to counter three?' A delivery driver once came in complaining that his uniform was too tight. The voice replied, ‘Sir, your trousers are trying to escape through the zipper!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, Plaza Cleaners became known for its quirky announcements. Even when everything was perfectly clean, people still stopped by just to hear what the intercom would say next.

2. At Plaza Cleaners, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing our shirts?’ It turned out that a neighborhood cat had taken a liking to sleeping in freshly cleaned shirts left outside to air-dry. The shirts always disappeared after being picked up from Plaza Cleaners, and everyone laughed when they found the culprit snoozing peacefully on someone's porch.

3. At Plaza Cleaners, a delivery driver once stopped mid-sentence and sniffed the air, exclaiming, 'Did anyone else just smell coffee?' It turned out that an early-morning baker had left his truck’s oven door open across the street. A regular passing by commented, ‘Guess someone forgot to turn off their morning pastry party!’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, realizing he’d been duped by a delicious urban scent.

4. At Plaza Cleaners, an old man walking his dog noticed something strange in the parking lot. Among the usual lost gloves and umbrellas lay a perfectly folded suit jacket with no tags or labels. The old man picked it up, dusted off the shoulders, and tried it on himself—surprisingly, it fit like a glove. Word spread quickly around town that if you ever needed a free tailored suit, Plaza Cleaners was your place. Eventually, though, someone recognized their own jacket and demanded its return. The owner smiled and said, ‘We cleaned it for you last week—it’s been our little secret!’
