Comet Cleaners

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, after school, little Sarah walked past Comet Cleaners and noticed something strange—an old man in a trench coat kept staring at her from inside the shop’s window. She waved, but he never looked up. Curious, she went inside later that week. The old man was nowhere to be seen, but on the counter lay an envelope with her name. Inside were her favorite cookies and a note saying, ‘Comet Cleaners – always shining your way.’

2. Have you ever wondered why Comet Cleaners always seems to be open late on Friday nights? A delivery driver once asked himself that very question as he approached the shop around midnight. As he peered through the window, he saw an old man folding shirts with meticulous care. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins, a regular who stayed late every week to catch up with his friends over coffee. The delivery driver laughed, realizing there was no mystery—just good company and great conversation after hours.

3. A few years ago, an early-morning jogger passed Comet Cleaners and heard a familiar sound—a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, she peeked through the window and saw only empty racks and quiet machines. But as she turned away, she swore she saw someone wearing a white lab coat walking briskly between the rows of clothes. The jogger mentioned it to her friends, who decided to investigate together one night. They waited outside until they spotted the figure again—this time, it was just a delivery driver adjusting his shirt in the mirror behind the counter. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next morning, except for poor Comet Cleaners, who never did get any peace after that.

4. A small dog, named Max, frequently visited Comet Cleaners. Every time he approached the entrance, he would pause and sniff the air with unusual intensity, as if trying to catch a scent no one else could detect. One day, while sniffing around, Max accidentally tripped over an exposed cord and started barking frantically. Everyone in the shop froze, thinking there was a real emergency. But it turned out Max had just found a lost button—a tiny black one that nobody could see but him. The owner laughed and said, ‘Max, you’re such a comedian!’
