A new laundromat in Independence is celebrating its grand opening with free washing and drying services and community resources on site.

Fresh Spin Laundromat, located at 10215 E Truman Road, is offering free washing and drying this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m for its Community Care Day. Customers just need to download the Laundry Boss app to get the credits and bring their own detergent.

Owner Aaron Winters is bringing in local organizations, including Care Beyond the Boulevard, Community Services League and Mid-Continent Public Library, to connect with customers while they wait.

"We recognized that the laundromat itself is a place where people spend time, and we wanted to be able to bring those resources to the people while they're here rather than having them to go out and find everything themselves," Winters said.

Winters says the building has a troubled past. He hopes his new business will become a pillar for the community. That also starts, he said, by tackling the food desert area with a mini mart also available to customers.

As for right now, this is the only Community Care Day planned for Fresh Spin.
