Family Pride Cleaners

Family Pride, HA! I went in with my family to do laundry when we were waiting to buy a washer and dryer set. Not only was the place not very clean, it was full of extremely rude people (the attendant especially). My son, being all of two years old was banging on a dryer with his feet while I was loading a washer. For this minor repetitive noise the attendant, a lovely gold-toothed woman, yelled at my son to "Shut-up." Regardless of how you feel about noise, the proper way to handle that situation would have been to talk to me and certainly not accost a two year old with rude language. I have had the opportunity to speak with other mothers that have used the same laundromat and they had similar stories about the same woman. I was severly disappointed with the service and decided to wait two weeks until I was able to buy my washer and dryer before doing anymore laundry. Thank you for the worst clothing washing experience I have had to date.

Family Pride is a very convenient, no-frills laundry and dry cleaning facility at the Fairhills shopping center on the west side of Springfield. I usually spend about $3.25 for a normal load of laundry (wash $2, 40 minutes dry on High heat--$1.25). While waiting for laundry, within walking distance to the County Market supermarket, Arby's, Baskin Robbins, Judy's Hallmark shop, China Wok restaurant, and a barber shop--also two service stations nearby and a CVS pharmacy.

The owners of Family Pride also own Crystal Cleaners on Adlai Stevenson Drive in Springfield (about 1/2 mile west of its exit with Interstate 55).
