Andonis Papadopolous known commonly as Mr. Papadopolous (Junior), is the owner of the launderette on Bridge Street. Andonis was not the original owner of the launderette. From the show's inception until May 1992 the property was owned by his father, until he died while holidaying in his native Athens. The character is of Greek descent, but the Papadopouloses were apparently based in Walthamstow, East London. In February 2016 it is mention by Dot Branning that Andonis has passed the Launderette business over to his son Apostulous Papadopolous.
