City, business and community leaders gathered at the new Speed Clean Laundry on East 18th Street on Friday evening for the ribbon cutting with owners Paul and Georgia Spangenberg and their children, Cody and Chase, as part of the laundromat’s Grand Opening.

The month-long celebration ends on Saturday, August 22, with free hot dogs and sodas for customers, as well as one free dry for those who wash their clothes at Speed Clean, up until they close at 10 p.m. Plus, customers can enter to win two $25 cash prizes, to be awarded at the end of August.

Mayor Wade Harper, in attendance at the ribbon cutting, along with Council Members Mary Rocha, Monica Wilson and Tony Tiscareno, along with Antioch School Board Trustee Diane Gibson Gray, offered his thoughts on the opening of the new business, that was once a Kentucky Fried Chicken location.

“We want to thank Speed Clean for choosing Antioch,” Harper said. “Anything we can do to help please let us know. Thank you for being here on our city.”

The Spangenbergs were then presented with proclamations from representatives of Assemblyman Jim Frazier and Congressman Jerry McNerney.

“The city has been really supportive,” Paul responded. “We’re just so thankful for their help. Thank you to my wife and our kids.”

“You’re our family and friends,” he said. “Thank you for joining us, tonight.”

Speed Clean Laundry is open 6 AM to 10 PM and is located at 317 East 18th Street. For more information visit their website at www.speedcleanlaundry.com.
