About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular customer of Pasadena Dry Cleaning & Laundry noticed something peculiar one morning. ‘Hey,’ he said to the owner, ‘why does it smell like fresh-baked cookies every time I come here?’ The owner smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's my secret ingredient—vanilla essence!' The customer shook his head, smiling, thinking maybe the man was pulling his leg. But no matter how many times he came back, that delicious scent never failed to greet him.
2. One day, a delivery driver dropped off a package and overheard an unusual announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your pants are trying to escape!’ The driver paused for a moment, then burst out laughing. Inside, everyone froze as they heard the sound of pants rustling towards the exit. A neighbor, passing by, looked in curiously and said, 'I’d better not ask what “trying to escape” means.' The whole place erupted into laughter, and soon after, everything returned to normal—except maybe someone’s freshly cleaned trousers were slightly more relaxed than usual.
3. One afternoon, while picking up her cleaned clothes, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you ever notice how our shirts always come back with tiny fold marks that weren’t there before?’ The owner smiled knowingly and replied, 'Ah, those are not folds—those are our secret little signatures!' A delivery driver chimed in, 'Yeah, they’re like our version of autographs.' The regular laughed and shook her head, realizing she’d been had all these years.
4. While waiting for her laundry, a regular exclaimed, 'I wonder if they clean more than just clothes here?' A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Probably anything that can get dirty!’ Soon enough, an old umbrella was found dangling from the rack, its handle neatly pressed. A neighbor quipped, ‘Next thing you know, they’ll be steamcleaning our dogs!’ And everyone laughed, happy with their dry cleaned shirts.
