Tommy’s Express and Tommy Car Wash Systems announced the groundbreaking for their new $30,000,000 headquarters in Holland, Mich. The project will consolidate operations from several existing locations into a single 75,000-square-foot office and 200,000+ square-foot warehouse space. The expansion will create opportunity for hundreds of new jobs over the next three years.
Construction on the new headquarters will begin in July 2021 with completion projected in fall 2022. Tommy’s in partnership with EV Construction hosted a private groundbreaking ceremony on July 13.
“Given the recent growth of our operations, we see an expanded headquarters as a continued commitment to our valuable team members,” said Ryan Essenburg, President and CIO of Tommy’s. “We also anticipate an upgraded space as a means to broaden our impact, and we thank and appreciate EV Construction for their role in helping us reach this goal.”
Interactive Studios of Grand Rapids is the project lead designer and architect. Concepts for the new facility were developed by Tommy’s over several years of planning and studying the needs of their growing business. The building will feature a large warehouse, fabrication and logistics center, two stories of modern office space, and ample room for events and employee collaboration with venders and customers. The focal point of the building is a two-story, round office that will feature training and technical support areas for Tommy’ Express franchise partners. The project’s exterior design will also feature architectural inspiration from the iconic Tommy’s Express Car Washes.
“The design of the building is intended to show our franchise partners and employees that they are the center of our business. The space is all about supporting them as they deliver a world-class car wash experience,” said Alex Lemmen, CEO of Tommy’s Express and Tommy Car Wash Systems.
