Last night was something special. ❤️🫧
As I stood inside Pearis Laundry Co. during our Suds Social VIP Night, I couldn’t help but think about the 10-year-old Austin who dreamed big in a small town. That kid never would have believed this moment was possible.
Last night wasn’t just about opening a laundromat. It was about a dream becoming reality. It was about the thousands of emails, text messages, phone calls, meetings, decisions, setbacks, and late nights that helped bring this vision to life.
But more than anything, it was about community.
Seeing friends, family, local leaders, business owners, partners, and neighbors come together under one roof was incredibly humbling. The support shown last night reminded me why I chose to invest in this town and why I believe so strongly in its future.
Pearis Laundry Co. may be a laundromat, but I hope it becomes something more—a place that serves our community, creates opportunities, and makes everyday life just a little easier.
To everyone who attended, supported, encouraged, shared a post, answered a phone call, sent a text message, offered advice, or simply believed in me along the way: thank you.
The 10-year-old Austin would never have believed this was possible. But this journey has taught me that with ambition, hard work, determination, and people who believe in you, amazing things can happen.
Thank you, Pearisburg, for making last night unforgettable.
This is more than a business. It’s a dream come true.
And we’re just getting started. ❤️🫧
