National Franchise Tommy’s Express Car Wash continues its growth by securing more than 30 locations in the San Antonio market. The Holland, MI-based company, is the fast-growing and largest national car wash franchise, featured on Franchise Times Magazine’s Top 500 List.
Olympus Pines LLC, a Veteran owned company and the group developing in the San Antonio market, currently owns the location at 12102 US HWY 281 N, which has been operational since 2018. The group purchased this location from the original owner earlier this year as they saw the potential for growth to build more locations.
The brand’s second location is currently in development and is anticipated to open in early 2023. That wash is located at 11914 Alamo Ranch Parkway, next door to Caliber Auto Care. With 13 locations under contract with another 17 in the pipeline, the group is hungry to open as many locations as possible in San Antonio.
With many other car wash brands breaking into the market, a few things make Tommy’s Express unique and different. Namely, each wash recycles 80% of the water. Alternatively, in other traditional car washes, as much as 85 gallons of water is used per car, according to Earth911, where a Tommy’s Express location uses around 35 gallons of water per car, around the same amount as a full bathtub or one load of laundry in a top-loading washer. Tommy’s Express locations also use a Reverse Osmosis system which filters the water, allowing the water to be recycled back into the wash, at an 80% recycling rate.
Tommy’s Express locations have become fan-favorite car care destinations in cities around the United States, thanks to their focus on customer experience, convenience, and wash quality. The signature 130’ wash tunnels are designed to be striking, with corner towers, a rounded transparent roof, prominent branding, and full-size windows running down the length of the wash tunnel.
San Antonio customers should expect quick service even at peak hours, three-minute travel down the car wash tunnel, an excellent menu of products and services with free floor mat washers and vacuum stations located on-site. TOMMY CLUB unlimited wash memberships will be available for purchase via the Tommy’s Express app allowing member vehicles to automatically be admitted to the wash via a proprietary license plate reader system. Unlimited Club members can wash as often as they wish at any location for as little at $19.99 per month.
Olympus Pines LLC, is seeking other locations across the country, to continue the expansion of the brand. The group has commitments to develop in the states of Pennsylvania, Utah, Nebraska, and South Carolina.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be an integral part of the growing San Antonio community,” said Michael Cianelli, veteran and co-founder. “We are dedicated to providing sustainable jobs, serving our guests, and giving back to the community.”
