<\/p>\nA new laundromat was expected to open on Erie’s east side on Oct. 16.<\/p>\n
Lucky’s Laundry, on Parade Street at East 18th Street, is owned by Erie entrepreneur Kulwant “Lucky” Singh, best known for his Lucky’s Food Mart stores and Speed Check gas stations and convenience stores.<\/p>\n
There is a Speed Check opposite the laundromat on East 18th Street.<\/p>\n
Why a laundromat?<\/p>\n
The newly built laundromat is Singh’s first.<\/p>\n
“Several customers told me they have to go too far to do laundry and would I please open a laundromat in their neighborhood,” Singh said.<\/p>\n
“People kept telling me that. And I listened.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lucky’s Laundry was expected to open at East 18th and Parade streets on Oct. 16.<\/p>\n
About the business<\/p>\n
Lucky’s Laundry has 60 state-of-the-art washers and dryers, Singh said. An attendant will be on hand during laundromat hours from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.<\/p>\n
Laundry service will be self-serve. Payment will be by cards available for purchase at the laundromat. Cards can be loaded in various dollar amounts and used until the pre-paid funds are depleted.<\/p>\n
