I was recently contacted by Lee Steele, Branch Manager at our Amesbury branch of Johnsons. He asked if we would be willing to mention his branch of this national chain of dry cleaners as they are very interested in serving the pagan / druid community.
He pointed out that they are very used to handling ritual garments for other religious and spiritual groups and so treat all such items with extra ordinary respect. In addition to that, they use eco friendly methods, which he hopes will be sympathetic to our beliefs about protecting mother earth.
Further more, if you take your robes to the Amesbury branch of Johnsons and tell them that you are a Druid they will offer you a discount!
Now hats off to Johnsons. Many businesses even those with a high pagan catchment fail to acknowledge us or seek to welcome us. Let’s hope many more local businesses will follow their lead.
I don’t know about you but my robes are a mess after solstices and equinoxes and that Stonehenge mud never completely washes out so I’m willing to give them a try.
Dirty Robes?
Johnsons are willing to help, and offer a discount to Druids.
