I never thought I'd write about a laundry service with the kind of urgency usually reserved for late-night diners, but here we are — Best Choice Cleaning & Restoration has pulled me in.
They're tucked over on East Quail Run Circle, which isn't exactly where you'd expect to find a business that's racked up 139 reviews and a 4.8 rating. Most people drive past that stretch near 57th and Sycamore without a second thought. But if you've ever spilled red wine on a cream couch the night before hosting your in-laws — or if you're like my friend Julie, who flooded her basement last spring and stood in two inches of water at 6 a.m. wondering who to call — you learn fast that Best Choice does more than laundry.
The name undersells it. They handle fire and water damage restoration, which means they've seen the worst of what happens when life goes sideways in Sioux Falls. I talked to someone who used them after a pipe burst in Pettigrew Heights, and she said they showed up within hours, fans and all. The laundry side — dry cleaning, wash-and-fold, comforters — feels almost like an afterthought, except it's not. It's the thing that keeps them steady between emergencies.
What isn't perfect: their website looks like it was built in 2008 and hasn't been touched since. If you're trying to figure out pricing or services online, good luck — you'll need to call. But maybe that's the point. This is the kind of business that runs on phone calls and showing up, not on slick digital interfaces.
I've driven past their building a dozen times and never noticed it. Now I know it's there, which feels like the kind of insurance you hope you never need but are glad exists when 3 a.m. strikes and something breaks.
