We Noticed!Have you ever passed by a Hyde Park business and thought, "wow, that place looks great!"? We have, and our quarterly We Noticed! column recognizes those local businesses; the ones we noticed have made an extra effort to keep their storefronts and business properties looking good.
This quarter We Noticed! Parkway Cleansing Center, located at 695 Truman Parkway, for recent improvements they've made to the interior of their business. The current owner of Parkway Cleansing Center recently bought the establishment from the prior owner who had been there for 20 years. To make the business clean and comfortable for their customers, they decided to fix it up and give it a better look by changing the flooring, removing a wall, upgrading the 20-year-old laundry machines, adding nicer chairs, and installing TV monitors. They also painted the interior and added artwork as well as a new counter area and window blinds. The results are dramatic and noticeable to customers as well as to anyone passing by, especially at night when the interior is lit up and visible from the street. Parkway Cleaning Center is now a bright, clean, and inviting place to visit for your laundry, dry cleaning, and tailoring needs. |
