Our Story

Our self-service laundromat was established in 2017 by our owner, Randy Abernathy. Randy opened this business because he wanted the people in his community to have a quick and efficient way to wash their clothing. We want our patrons to feel as comfortable here as they would in their own homes.

We are a family-owned and operated business that offers many services to our customers. We are a coin-operated, self-service laundromat and we offer high efficiency washers and dryers. Our machines are ecologically friendly and have the capacity for small, medium, and large loads of clothing. We have laundry carts, folding tables, soap, detergent, and other laundry amenities available on-site to make the washing, drying, and folding process as easy as possible.

In addition to our state of the art washers and dryers, we also have a sitting area available for customers who choose to wait on-site for their clothes to dry. We provide free Wi-Fi, big screen TVs, a children’s lending library, and vending machines for entertainment during the wait.

Our laundromat has recently expanded to two locations in the Knoxville area and we invite you to use our facilities for your next laundry day. For more information about our services, contact The Family Bubble at (888) 984-7627.

We Appreciate Your Feedback 🧺
“It’s a great laundromat with a decent number of washers and dryers. It’s clean and spacious enough to where you're not tripping over each other. I like that it has some super big washers so I can have clean bedding or rugs as often as I like!
