While the combination of “seaside” and “laundromat” may seem like an odd combination, the gentle hum of a washing machine mixed with the susurration of waves crashing on the sandy shore might actually make for a great relaxing vaporwave vibe to soak in the ambience as the linens soak in the suds. And with hot springs to boot, what could be more tranquil than a sea salt scrub after a hard day’s rewarding work of scrubbing patrons’ treasured belongings for the precious memories to shine through?
