Everything Everywhere All At Once's real-world laundromat has become a tourist attraction
Majers Coin Laundry has become an L.A. landmark thanks to its use as an Everything Everywhere All At Once set
After raking in a whole bunch of trophies at the Independent Spirit Awards and the SAG Awards, Everything Everywhere All At Once is on course to receive even more accolades at this weekend’s Oscars. And with that extra attention, an unassuming laundromat in San Fernando, Los Angeles is likely to become even busier than it has been over the last year.
Majers Coin Laundry has, according to a recent Los Angeles Times article, become a tourist destination that draws fans “from as close as Burbank and as far as Singapore” after its appearance as Evelyn and Waymond Wang’s family business in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Fans “pose for selfies in front of the building’s recognizable green and red signage,” the article explains. “Some come in costume. Others simply gawk at the washing machines and dryers, attempting to relive shots from the movie.”
Its owners, Kenny and Irene Majers, have run the business, which was built by Kenny’s grandfather in 1983, since shortly after they met in Mexico City. Irene, a former jazz vocalist, has since started working as a registered nurse but she formerly “did much of the office work” (including the taxes) at the laundromat while Kenny was largely responsible for working on the washing and drying machines. The two, like the Wangs, have one daughter and Irene describes her and her husband’s personalities as fairly similar to Evelyn and Waymond’s.
