Champion Xpress Car Wash announced Michael Murry as the new Chief Executive Officer. Murry replaces Trey Merchant, who served as CEO of Champion Xpress for six years and is the owner.

Merchant has recently transitioned to a new leadership role within the Merchant Family Companies.

“As a family-owned and operated business, we have great faith in Michael’s leadership capabilities and look forward to the ways he will contribute to the success of our company and lead us through our next big expansion phase,” said Merchant.

An accomplished executive, Murry brings 10 years of leadership experience to the Champion Xpress team. As Chief Executive Officer, Murry is responsible for leading all aspects of the rapidly growing company and will focus heavily on the aggressive expansion plans Champion has in development.

With eight current locations across Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, Champion Xpress has plans to expand rapidly over the next two years across these and other markets throughout the U.S. As CEO, Murry will lead Champion in its expansion goal of 70+ locations by 2023.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to join the Champion Xpress team and work with them to continue their unprecedented growth,” said Murry.
