El Car Wash, Florida’s largest and fastest-growing car wash operator—and soon to be Michigan’s leading operator—continues its aggressive expansion with the acquisition of six ZIPS Car Wash (“ZIPS”) Orlando locations and three SPIN Car Wash locations in Broward County. The acquisitions of these nine locations totaled over $50 million.
These strategic acquisitions strengthen El Car Wash’s presence in both areas while deepening its market share in core geographies. With these acquisitions, El Car Wash now operates 65 locations with more than 300,000 active members and has over 60 additional sites in development across Florida and Michigan. The company remains on track to surpass 100 locations by the end of 2026.
Justin Landau, co-founder and chief strategy officer, said, “We are thrilled to welcome the ZIPS Orlando locations and the SPIN Car Wash Broward locations into the ECW family. These are excellent additions to our portfolio as we continue to expand further throughout Florida and deepen our presence in our core markets. “
Geoff Karas, co-founder and chief executive officer, added, “We’re excited to bring our industry-leading operations to these locations and deliver an exceptional customer experience and premium member value through the best car wash network in Florida.”
El Car Wash will invest significantly in upgrading these newly acquired sites, enhancing wash quality, and elevating the customer experience—hallmarks of the El Car Wash brand.
Additionally, ZIPS and SPIN locations will be seamlessly integrated into El Car Wash’s unlimited membership program, allowing both new and existing members access to 100+ locations as the company continues its rapid growth.
To celebrate this milestone, El Car Wash will roll out exclusive limited-time promotions for new members and host grand opening celebrations at select locations. In 2025 alone, El Car Wash has already opened new locations in Lake Nona, Merritt Island, Oakland Park, Lake Worth, and Hialeah Gardens, with plans to open 20 new stores by year’s end.
