If laundromats get you all hot and bothered, get ready. You were probably really sad when Speed Wash closed shop last year, and rightfully so. It left only two full-sized commercial laundries and two full service dry cleaners on Mount Pleasant Street. Apparently demand for the laundry on the southern end of the neighborhood was high enough to reopen the space (3058 Mt P St), serving the exact same purpose. No signage yet, so it remains to be seen of they'll keep the moniker. What's the over/under on a place like this? The profit margin can't be that high. Or maybe it is. I have no idea. People always need clean underwear though.

people claim that nimbys and sky high rents are the two factors keeping business out of MTP. Obviously drycleaners and laundrys wont bug nimbys so they have a head start on anyone who wants to open something that serves beer. but how in the hell does something like this make rent? the start up costs have to be high to get all those machines. then its what 3 dollars a load? and that profit is offset by high utilitys in the way of water and electricity obviously. doesnt make sense.
Mt. Pleasant is clearly the hottest laundromat district in the city. Finally, our day in the sun!
"...only two full-sized commercial laundries and two full service dry cleaners..."
"Only"?? You're joking, right?
yes, you are correct. that was a joke.
