The Phantom of the (Soap) Opera is there. He sneaks inside and washes and drys my things…read more.. well.... he is not a ghost at all.... he works here. Soap Opera is a dry cleaners in Alkrington, next Alkrington Barbers and Best One newsagents, just off and viewable from the main road, hence on a bus route where one comes basically every few minutes, due to it being the way to Manchester from Middleton bus station (just down the road) The store is actually quite small, and you can not wash things yourself and wait, they do it for you. I would say this is a bad thing as you can't waltz in with your favourite bedding (you can't fit in your washer) and walk back out, the same day with it, you have to wait some time, often a few days for them to do it. I really do not like this. It is quite pricey here due to the service they provide, (doing it themselves) and if I remember it cost £12 for one small (ish [ but still couldn't fit in my washer ] blanket, which is quite pricey but they simply add it on because they are doing it - which is not optional. The only reason I keep coming back is the location and due to the price and the service meaning you can't do it yourself, and it simply not being the nicest of shops due to its' design and the till blocking most of the shop, I can only give 2 stars.
