Driven Brands Car Wash announced the acquisition of two Express Clean Car Wash locations, one in Hammond, La., and the other in LaPlace, La. These are the first two acquisitions in the state of Louisiana for Driven Brands.

Express Clean Car Wash was recognized by the local magazine Tangi Lifestyles and their readers with a Reader’s Choice Award as the Best Car Wash of 2021.

“We always strive to deliver a great quality wash with friendly customer service and that has been the keys to our success,” said Johnny Schillace, former owner of Express Clean. “We treat every customer like they are our best friend. Driven Brands now owns two of the best small-market car washes in Louisiana, and I wish them continued success.”

“As we continue to grow our presence in the southern United States, we are pleased to welcome Express Clean with their great reputation for great quality and customer service,” said Driven Brands Car Wash North America President Gabe Mendoza. “That friendly hometown feel combined with our leading-edge technology and resources is a recipe for success on the Bayou.”

Driven Brands entered the car wash industry in 2020 with the acquisition of International Car Wash Group. Driven Brands Car Wash operates over 900 locations in 14 countries. The company was founded in Germany in 1965 under the IMO brand. Driven Brands Car Wash North America operates under the Car Wash USA Express, Goo-Goo Car Wash, Supersonic Car Wash and Mister B’s brands.
