We want to remind our customers that we are now offering delivery service. We will go to your residence or business, pick up your laundry, wash/ dry/ fold and drop it back off to you.

The reason for the reminder is in the last 2 weeks I had to physically assist several elderly women walk from their car inside the laundromat with their laundry. They were unaware of our delivery service.

Please share this with your elderly neighbors and family to help spread the word. With the weather getting colder let us help them out. I've enclosed both sides of our flyer detailing our services.
Please scan the QR code for more information.

Thank you

Gotta give a shout out to Karen Oakes Holmes at Center Lounge.
Their almost famous corndog was excellent and their cowboy stew hit the spot. Try one before they run out

Today is our 1 year Anniversary! Kristin and I want to thank the town of Whiting and the communities around for welcoming us into your neighborhood!
We have met so many nice people this past year and look forward to the years ahead.
We also want to thank the local business leaders in our neighborhood that have helped us this past year. It has not gone forgotten!
Here is a brief before and after of turning our building into the laundromat that serves you today

Sincerely,

I want to give a shout-out to the Popeye's in Hammond by the border.
I saw a homeless lady with on the road by Ihops. I pulled over and asked if she was hungry. She said yes and usually she eats Popeyes. I told her I would run over there and pick some up for her.
I get there and tell the employees I'm getting an order for her and if they know what she likes. The employee stated "oh yeah we know her, she's a sweetheart. We give her food every time she comes in".

I was taken away by their generosity and asked if I could post this. ( I didn't want to get them in trouble). She said no problem.

In this day and age to see human compassion amongst strangers towards each other is something I didn't want to go unnoticed.

Mad props for Popeye's employees.

Michael Gomez, co-owner of Whihala Wash Laundromat along with his wife Kristin Gomez , is excited to announce that he is bringing his security company, Gomez Security, to Whiting, Indiana.

Gomez Security has been proudly serving clients throughout Illinois since 2012, providing professional security services for a wide range of clients and organizations, including Union Pacific Railroad, Amazon, major events, festivals, and community gatherings. We offer both armed and unarmed security services tailored to the needs of our clients.

After operating my laundromat in Whiting for the past year, I have had the opportunity to experience firsthand what a great community Whiting is. The people, local businesses, festivals, and community events have made a lasting impression on me and ultimately convinced me to bring Gomez Security to Whiting.

I have a very specific goal in bringing the company here: I want to hire from within the Whiting community.

I truly appreciate the many events and opportunities that Whiting has to offer, and I believe there is something special about having local residents working to protect and support events taking place in their own community. My goal is to create a sense of pride, belonging, and ownership for those who have the opportunity to work at Whiting's festivals, events, and community gatherings.

Just as importantly, hiring locally keeps more money within the community and puts additional income directly into the pockets of Whiting residents.

I look forward to the opportunity to make Gomez Security an active part of the Whiting community and to work alongside local businesses, organizations, and residents.

Thank you, Whiting, for welcoming me and my businesses into this great community.

Looks like our mascots Molly and Kodi are a little intimidated by their new brother
