LT Baron's Dry Cleaners & Laundry shuts down on 11th Street


LT Baron's, a small dry cleaners and laundry at 520 E. 11th St., has gone out of business here between Avenue A and Avenue B. (Thanks for Gojira for the tip.)

Several families have owned the business through the years, with a nice couple taking over early this year.

Several neighborhood dry cleaners have had to permanently close during the pandemic, including Sun's Laundry and C & C. The customer base has seen a sharp decline with more people working from home and fewer people attending dress-up events such as weddings.

    These are family owned businesses many of them minority owned that are being closed forever.

    Better shut down than lose money and owe rents and taxes.
