Warmest welcome, very polite, and courteous customer service i’ve received in a very long time. It was extremely refreshing. I took two tux to get cleaned on a Wednesday which I thought was short noticed to be picked up by Friday. They definitely delivered. Any stains that were present before are now a distant memory. The cherry on top was as I was leaving getting flagged down to receive a little care package. They just don’t do that anymore and it was definitely a gesture well received and for that they have earned my business.
