We're a father-son duo with soap in our veins and Dubuque in our hearts. Cole and Paul Hansen have decided to begin a new laundromat venture in Dubuque, IA. After four generations in the laundromat business throughout Chicago, Cole and Paul Hansen are taking their endeavors to Cole's home in Dubuque. Cole spent years learning the ropes from his father Paul in the family laundry business and we’re proud to bring that experience back home with Suds On Hill St — a fresh, modern laundromat rooted in tradition and built for our community.
Dubuque is more than just where we’re from — it’s who we are. From the river bluffs to the Fenelon Place Elevator, this town is full of charm, grit, and good people. That’s why we set out to create a clean, comfortable, and reliable space where neighbors can feel at home while getting life’s chores done.
For us, this isn’t just about washing clothes — it’s about carrying on a legacy, giving back to the city that raised us, and creating a local spot that’s as dependable as it is welcoming. Thanks for letting us be part of your weekly routine — we’re proud to be Dubuque-made and community-powered.
From our family to yours — welcome to Suds On Hill St.
