There's literally no laundry's within 50 miles of where I live. I've had to look before now, when our machine died. It might be even further but I stopped looking at that. I thought they'd all gone extinct, with everyone having their own machines now, so hearing you've one on your doorstep that's been there decades is a bit of a surprise.
I guess it's a matter of population density, enough people in a small enough area and you get a high enough frequency of situations like yours that a few laundries can stay in business, surviving off people using them as back-ups.
