They are located in the Vons, Rite Aid shopping mall. Along the area next to the barbershop in the back.

It’s been over a decade since I’ve needed a laundromat because I’ve had access to a washer/dryer from my home. I wanted to find one fairly close by as I began my search. Unfortunately the first one I drove by had closed during the height of the pandemic. 

My second choice hit pay dirt. Not only were they open, the whole place was immaculately clean, with a huge parking lot in the back. An attendant whom was very helpful had necessary items for sale such as; dryer sheets, detergent and drinks. Carts with wheels were plentiful, counters to fold on and a nice seating area provided. 

I brought my own quarters but they do have a change machine. Also they offer a pay with your card alternative at each wash and dry machine. There are three different sizes of wash machines depending on your needs. 

I’ll be back for sure next time I have enough for a few loads.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

    Well, at the face of it, it was a pleasant Laundromat. Newer and clean machines and not crowded when we needed them.
    The problem I am trying to resolve is that on Saturday my wife paid for the $6 or $7 wash cycle by ‘card and then I paid for the subsequent about $2.50 Dryer cycle with my ‘card.
    On Sunday night we discovered that each card has been debited by $20 which would be considered a complete rip-off. We didn’t ask to join a club or buy a string of cycles. We only needed one of each.
    The phone is not answered and the voicemail is full so can’t record messages and the links published for the website lead to nowhere.
    So, Buyer Beware! Don’t use your credit card. It may appear convenient but don’t be misled, it is grossly expensive.
    Still waiting for a means of contacting whoever manages their process.

    They have an attendant onsite. Each time I’ve gone there to do laundry someone is there. So talk to the attendant. I’m sure she will be happy to help with the problem.
