Take 5 Car Wash® announced the grand openings of eight newly converted locations in central Ohio, all of which officially opened to customers on Nov. 17. Headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Take 5 Car Wash is an express car wash operator with more than 360 sites nationwide.
“The transition to Take 5 is exciting because we are growing our network and becoming an even more convenient go-to for central Ohio communities,” said Brandon Cook, Take 5 Car Wash regional director of operations.
Among the newly renovated sites is the largest car wash tunnel in Columbus, Ohio, with a 145-foot-long tunnel and 58 vacuum bays. The wash, located at 3267 Morse Rd., was the first car wash in Ohio to join the Driven Brands portfolio.
In celebration of its grand openings, all eight renovated Take 5 Car Wash locations are offering free car washes. The retailer is also hosting a fundraiser for Columbus-based Nationwide Children’s Hospital, which is committed to best outcomes and health equity for all children, ensuring every child has access to the best care regardless of their ability to pay. Customers will have the chance to make donations to support the nonprofit through Take 5 Car Wash’s touchscreen kiosks and cash donation boxes.
Take 5 Car Wash newly converted sites are updated with new equipment and formulas, including a Ceramic Shield formula with UV protection and a new Tire Shine formula. Complimentary detail centers are also included at all sites, which have high-power vacuums, interior and window cleaner, and microfiber towels.
