El Car Wash, known for its rapid expansion and status as Florida’s premier Car Wash operator, announced the acquisition of two new locations: Sweetwater Car Wash Dr. Phillips in Orlando and Suncoast Express Car Wash in Ft Myers.
This strategic expansion signifies El Car Wash’s growing presence in Central Florida with the Sweetwater Dr. Phillips acquisition paving the way for additional sites in 2024, including Altamonte Springs, Boggy Creek, Davenport, Lake Nona, Merritt Island, and Rockledge. In Southwest Florida, the addition of Suncoast Express Wash marks the company’s third location in the region, reflecting a continued commitment to growth and excellence. Significant investments are being made to enhance both the Suncoast and Sweetwater sites, ensuring the El Car Wash brand is synonymous with superior wash quality and exceptional customer experience.
“We are thrilled to further strengthen our position in key markets while remaining consistent with our M&A strategy of entering adjacent markets by purchasing the premier operators in advance of aggressive greenfield rollout of similarly high-quality locations,” said co-CEOs Geoffrey Karas and Justin Landau. “These latest acquisitions, combined with a robust development pipeline in Central Florida and the West Coast, bolster the company’s presence across Central, Southwest and South Florida, offering an unparalleled service and membership value to an expanding customer base.”
Current members of Suncoast Fort Myers and Sweetwater Dr. Phillips will be seamlessly integrated into El Car Wash’s comprehensive unlimited membership programs, granting them access to an extensive network of over 75 current and future locations. Additionally, El Car Wash is launching special promotions for new members to commemorate these exiting new locations.
“These acquisitions further enhance El Car Wash’s market-leading position, stretching from Miami to Greater Orlando,” said Mike Hill, Area Vice President. “My team and I are extremely excited to welcome more locations for our unlimited club members to take advantage of, so they can always drive clean.”
