From Magnolia Avenue, Burlington, and the Chilhowee Park side, Express Laundry Center is a short drive west — a bright, attended laundromat with big machines and next-day wash & fold. Not up for the drive? We'll pick it up and bring it back folded.
Let's be straight with you: our store isn't sitting on Magnolia Avenue. Express Laundry Center is at 1021 Heiskell Ave, just off North Broadway near I-275 in Northwest Knoxville. From most of East Knoxville — Burlington, the Chilhowee Park area, the neighborhoods along Magnolia — it's a straightforward, few-minute hop west across town.
That short trip buys you a lot: a clean, well-lit room, machines that actually fit a family's load, free parking right at the door, and staff on site while you're here. If you'd rather skip the drive entirely, our pickup & delivery service brings the laundromat to your doorstep instead. Either way, East Knoxville is squarely in our service area.
Nobody in East Knoxville should have to plan a laundry trip around one way to pay. Use whatever's easiest: quarters, a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or your reloadable loyalty card — and the loyalty card earns Wash Points toward future washes. Tap, start, done.
Two change machines on the wall turn bills into quarters if that's how you'd rather do it, so you're never stuck either way. For renters and families juggling a tight week, that small thing takes a real errand off the list.
East Knoxville households aren't washing one sweater at a time. We run high-efficiency washers from 20 lb all the way up to 80 lb, plus large dryers that finish fast. A week's worth of towels, kids' clothes, and bedding can go through in one or two big loads instead of babysitting a home machine all weekend.
Here's the self-service pricing, no surprises: $4.75 for a 20 lb washer, $6.75 for 40 lb, $8.75 for 60 lb, and $15 for the 80 lb. Comforters, sleeping bags, and other bulky items are welcome too — see our large-item laundry page for how we handle the oversized stuff.
Some weeks you just don't have a spare two hours. Drop your laundry with us and pick it up clean, folded, and ready to put away — usually the next day. Our wash & fold is $2.00 per pound, so a big bag of mixed laundry stays affordable.
Prefer to stay and run it yourself? Our self-service laundromat is open every day with plenty of machines, free Wi-Fi, and a comfortable place to wait. You choose how hands-on you want to be.
If crossing town isn't in the cards this week, we bring the service to East Knoxville. Pickup & delivery is available as an add-on to wash & fold: we grab your bags, wash and fold them, and return them to your door — no drive, no traffic, no lost afternoon.
Because routes and timing vary, we don't quote a delivery fee online. Call us at (865) 281-3381 for current route pricing and to see what days we're covering near you. It's an easy option for families, renters, and anyone without a reliable way to haul laundry across town.
A laundromat should feel safe and cared for, not like somewhere you rush out of. Ours is bright, clean, and attended during all open hours, with free parking right at the door and free Wi-Fi if you want to catch up on work or let the kids stay occupied.
We're open 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM, seven days a week, and the last wash starts at 8:00 PM — so an early start or an after-work run both fit. Want the exact address and directions from the East side? Check our location page, and if you're closer to town center, our Knoxville laundromat overview covers the wider area too.
Call, email, or stop by 1021 Heiskell Ave in Knoxville — a real person will get back to you.
