About Happy Hamper

Welcome to Happy Hamper, Chicago's friendly, neighborhood laundromat! Established in 2021, Happy Hamper is a proud family and woman-owned business founded by two best friends who wanted to create a better laundry experience. Their mission is to provide a safe, clean, and welcoming space for the community. More than just a place to wash clothes, Happy Hamper is dedicated to supporting local neighborhoods and making genuine connections with its customers. The focus on a positive and fun atmosphere ensures that every visit is a great one, turning a weekly chore into a pleasant and efficient task.

Happy Hamper offers a full suite of laundry solutions to fit any need in the Chicago area. For those who prefer to do it themselves, the self-service facility is equipped with a wide range of machines, including large-capacity washers up to 80 pounds for bulky items. For ultimate convenience, take advantage of the wash & fold drop-off service, priced at just $1 per pound for next-day turnaround, with options for premium detergents like Tide and Gain.
