Big Dan’s Car Wash announced the further expansion of its footprint with the opening of three new sites: one in Hiram, Ga., on Nov. 26; the first of four locations in the Tampa Bay, Fla., area on Nov. 12; and its first express wash with onsite fuel in Tarpon Springs, Fla., on Dec. 14.
With the opening of these locations, the company now has 10 express washes in Georgia and Florida and will be opening three additional locations in the first quarter of 2023.
“Our team has worked extremely hard to get to this point and I’m very proud of where we are today. 2022 has been a great year for us and I believe 2023 will be even better. I know my grandfather, Big Dan, would be proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish over these last two years,” said Jay Shadday, president of Big Dan’s Car Wash.
The location in Hiram is part of a corridor of expansion that includes Acworth, Kennesaw and Marietta, as well as other cities across the state.
The location at 7510 North Dale Mabry Road in Tampa, Fla., is the company’s second acquisition and was recently renovated and rebranded as Big Dan’s Car Wash. “The Greater Tampa Bay area is one of our primary markets. We love the demographics and the customer base. You can expect to see 10 to 15 more locations in this area over the next two years,” said Shadday.
According to chief operating officer, Tripp Flournoy, the Tarpon Springs location boasts a 165-foot tunnel, over 30 vacuums, two dedicated lanes for unlimited wash club members, and onsite fuel for wash customers. “Time is one thing none of us seem to have enough of. At this location, our customers can wash up and fuel up in one stop. Fuel is available for wash customers only and they can expect to have access to some of the best fuel prices in the state,” Flournoy said.
The Shadday Family Office, the principal owner of Big Dan’s Car Wash, has previously operated 20 car washes and launched the Big Dan’s brand in December 2020. The company announced phase one expansion plans in October after securing $100 in funding and plan to release phase two in the second quarter of 2023. They currently have 11 sites under construction, 25 sites in development with 15 slated to open in 2023.The corporate office is located in Rome, Ga.
