About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on Cox’s Cleaners’ loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and found no label or markings. He shrugged and left it there, but from then on, strange things started appearing around town. Soon enough, neighbors began noticing their clothes coming back cleaner than ever before—even items they hadn’t sent in. Word spread quickly, and soon Cox’s Cleaners became the talk of the town for its mysterious yet effective service. One day, an amused delivery driver finally opened the box, discovering nothing more than a note reading: ‘Thanks for delivering our best secret!’
2. A little girl followed her mother into Cox’s Cleaners one afternoon. As she waited for her clothes to be cleaned, she pointed excitedly at a strange shadow moving behind the counter. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘is that a ghost?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘No sweetheart, it’s just Mr. Cox dusting off his old hat collection.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then asked if they could see the hats later. Mr. Cox, overhearing, grinned and said, ‘Of course you can, young lady!’ and waved them goodbye with a twinkle in his eye.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming coming from Cox’s Cleaners' basement. Curious but cautious, he peered inside and saw nothing but rows of empty racks and quiet machines. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Need some starch for your collar?’ The delivery driver jumped, then laughed at his own nerves. Turns out, it was just an old mannequin with a loose bolt. Back at work, everyone teased him about seeing ghosts in the cleaners—except that no one else ever noticed the mischievous mannequin hiding behind the ironing board.
4. Have you ever seen anyone leave Cox’s Cleaners with more than they came in? Last week, a regular asked the clerk if they could clean his suit for free—just borrow it first. The clerk smiled and replied, 'Absolutely!' Next thing everyone knew, the man was wearing his own suit while the cleaner took home an identical one from the rack. A few days later, our regular showed up again, suit freshly cleaned—and so was the cleaner’s, thanks to some clever miscommunication.
