The Closure of This Central Maine Laundromat Did Not Come as a Surprise
If you are a fan of our radio stations, there is a good chance that you have heard us talking about our upcoming move to Water Street in Augusta.
Even though we are looking forward to being in the center of all the action on Water Street in Augusta, we are going to miss our current location at the Augusta Plaza on Western Avenue in Augusta.
What's Happening to the Old K-Mart Plaza in Augusta?
As we understand it, the plan is to demolish the aging shopping plaza to make way for a host of new businesses, including a new hotel.
As a result, businesses have slowly been leaving the mall. T&K Tactical and The Shop Crossfit, for example, have moved to the old Stratham Tire location on Bangor Street in Augusta.
The Garden Island Cleaners on Western Avenue in Augusta, Maine
Because of the coming changes at the Augusta Plaza, it was not a big surprise to see that our neighbors at Garden Island Cleaners had closed their doors for the last time on Saturday.
The laundromat has been here for decades! According to a couple of former radio station employees, the laundromat has been here at the Augusta Plaza since about 1992! Yeah, it has been here for over three decades!
We reached out to the owners to find out if there were future plans for this location. Unfortunately, it appears that they do not plan to re-open the Augusta Plaza laundromat in a different location.
However, the company does have other locations in our area.
You can visit their location at 26 Bangor Street in Augusta. They also have locations in Winthrop, Waterville, Lewiston, and Belfast. Check out the entire list of Hedrich Laundry Centers HERE.
