Welcome to 2025, a new year, a fresh start filled with hope & Cheer.

I know it's been awhile, but we finally have some great news to announce!

We have found our new home, yes at long last.

We have met with the owner of the plaza on a couple of occasions to discuss & review the proposed lease agreement & I am happy to say we are scheduled to meet them on Monday January 6th to place our John Hancock on the document, this will provide a home for Sips & Suds for a long, long time.

So it appears the planets & stars have finally lined up.

The existing tenant has been very gracious and exceedingly helpful in moving the process along. He has been given notice & will have the unit vacated by Feb. 28th

In talking with the architect he estimates an 8 to 10 week process for the build, so we are at looking at an opening in early to mid-May.

I know at this point your shouting, that's all great Tony but just tell us where the heck it will be located.

Unfortunately, I'm the superstitious type - so that announcement won't be made until after I seal the deal on the 6th. Well then what else can you tell us:

Is it as big as Vine St? No, but at 2,300 sq. ft. it will still be bigger than any other laundromat in the city.

What about equipment? Washers (30), Dryers (14 stacked) & 5 folding tables just like Vine St. Yes we will also be selling R.O. Water.

There will be a pop & vending machine, change machines & an ATM machine. Along with ample sitting spaces.

It is located just minutes away from fast food outlets, restaurants & a supermarket.

So what can you do, how about cross your fingers, say a prayer, wish upon a star, or just wish us luck.

Cheers,
Marsha & Tony

Dear Customers:
I am writing to you on this day, Aug. 29th 2023. As you’re well aware we have spent the past several months looking for a new home.
The task has been a little bit more difficult than expected. There is ample space in the city but it appears very little of it is suitable for a laundromat with the amount of equipment that we have. So both Marsha & I have come to realize that we may have to compromise.

This is the purpose of our letter to you. At present we are looking at a building that meets all of our requirements except one. It’s a fairly modern free standing building with ample parking, easy access in & out and in the centre of the city. The building at present is empty and would allow us to begin the necessary upgrades almost immediately.

The potential problem is its location. It is located @ 217 Church St., across the street from the Salvation Army & Jewish Synagogue & beside St. John’s Ambulance. For anyone unfamiliar with this location, there are a lot of transients (Homeless ppl.) in the area.

My observations have been that they tend to avoid the open business & tend to migrate to the two pharmacy’s located nearby, along with any unoccupied buildings.
Equipping the building with security will be the number 1 priority (security camera’s inside & out, plenty of lighting, automatic locking doors, motion detectors etc. )
But the outside décor is beyond our control, & this is the purpose of this letter.

We are asking for your opinion, let’s say a survey of sorts. On how would you feel about doing your laundry in this part of town. The R.O. water & Wash n Fold customers – we do not believe it would be much of a concern for them because they would be in & out within minutes. But for those of you who would be doing your laundry on a regular basis, we are asking you directly – how would you feel. Is this location acceptable to you, or would you feel uncomfortable enough to choose a different laundromat. We are asking for your response. Based on those response(s) we will determine whether to move forward at this location or continue to look for another site.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, your feedback is crucial.

Marsha & Tony

To our valued Customers:

By now you are well aware that we are closed.

Our focus is to reopen as soon as possible but it surprisingly has been more difficult than expected to find a suitable unit.

Once we find a new home, we will post the new location along with our expected opening date.

Thank you for your patience and support!
Marsha & Tony
