THE decrease in ATMs has swooped the Morwell area for a while, but now, new and behold The Laundry Lounge Coin Laundry has installed one for everyone’s use.

In the last week, owner of The Laundry Lounge Coin Laundry, Tony Morgan, had the machine put in where it has a free fee for most banks, apart from NAB and Commonwealth banks. He said: “I have already seen the difference in the last week, it’s the amount of people pulling up and using it. It’s only been in there for a week.

“I put up a post on my Facebook page and got thousands of likes and lots of responses, lots of thank-yous’. Morwell Noticeboard also put a post up on their page and got the same thing, lots of positive responses. Very well accepted,” he said.

Mr Morgan said that it benefits his customers and businesses around him greatly as society still prefers notes at times, and he is more than happy to be able to create happy smiles.

“The only other teller in the town of Morwell, or centre is NAB and a lot of times that is out of order. Now that I have one it gives people an alternative,” Mr Morgan said.

Mr Morgan also happens to be celebrating his 10th year in business next month, and feels that the ATM is a great addition to start off the next year of business. He mentioned that he may even have a little competition to match the 10-year anniversary, similar to what he did last business birthday.
