The property for sale includes 2 living units besides the business itself and according to the ad 2.46 acres of property. We always thought that the location was dangerous for backing in and out onto Rte. 11 and like Argie's wife we thought a better spot for a new laundry would be near McGrath's Variety store or along 28N between Hannaford's and the American Legion. The laundromat did not fail due to lack of business, but after the original owners (the Whitneys) died, their son and daughter-in-law didn't seem to have the interest and the place went down hill. It was not lack of need, but rather disinterest that led to the closing. I'm sure if someone opened a new laundromat elsewhere in Alton they would have the customers.
