Riverbend Laundry Slates Grand Opening, Ribbon Cutting for Oct. 4

PALMER — Riverbend Laundry, in conjunction with the Quaboag Hills Chamber of Commerce, has announced a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate its grand opening on Friday, Oct. 4 at 10 a.m.

Riverbend Laundry is a self-service laundromat at 2024 Main St. in the heart of Palmer’s village of Three Rivers. The facility features the Laundroworks system for seamless payments and uses Sanowash technology to ensure every load is thoroughly sanitized.

Riverbend Laundry is a family-owned business operated by local residents Justin, Ryan, and Sergio Dias. Justin earned his master’s degree in architecture from Wentworth Institute of Technology in 2013 and currently works as a computational designer. Ryan graduated from Westfield State University in 2011 with a double major in finance and economics and serves as an accounting manager. With more than 30 years of experience in the construction industry, Sergio has worked his way up from carpenter to foreman and project superintendent.

“Together, as local real-estate investors, we have a deep understanding of the community’s needs, which is why we recognized the opportunity to establish a clean and reliable laundromat in the area” Justin Dias said. “After identifying a promising building on Main Street, we knew it would be the perfect location to serve our neighbors.”

The ribbon-cutting event will feature presentations from local elected officials, including state Sen. Jake Oliveira, state Rep. Todd Smola, and Palmer Town Manager Brad Brothers.

“The Quaboag Hills Chamber is thrilled for Riverbend Laundry and for the region as a whole,” said James Przypek, CEO of the chamber. “We are especially appreciative of the Dias family’s work to invest in the local community. They did an incredible job renovating the building into a beautiful and welcoming space, and to deliver these services affordably and conveniently for all to use.”
