Links Car Wash Expands Footprint with Two Strategic Acquisitions in Fort Myers

Links Car Wash is excited to announce its continued expansion in the Sunshine State with two new Fort Myers locations. This growth includes the acquisition of King’s Car Wash located off Daniels Parkway, as well as the addition of a new development property in Estero Oaks.

Through these acquisitions, we are dedicated to delivering the high standards of quality and innovation that define the Links Car Wash brand. We look forward to serving the Fort Myers community with an elevated car wash experience rooted in excellence and efficiency.”

With over 50 years of combined industry expertise, Links Car Wash remains dedicated to operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
