LOCAL CAR WASH CHAIN CONTINUES EXPANSION
Splash Car Wash is continuing its expansion this summer by acquiring a location in New York’s Hudson Valley and getting zoning approval to build in two other locations, officials with the Milford-based said Friday.
Splash added Clean Co Car Wash & Laundromat in Montgomery, N.Y. The Milford-based company also announced it had received local zoning approvals for new locations in Milford and Henrietta, N.Y., which is located near Rochester.
Splash officials were not available for comment last week regarding where the new location in Milford will be.
With its acquisition of the Montgomery car wash, Splash now has more than 50 locations overall with 35 in New York State. Splash has 17 locations in Connecticut.
The company, founded in 1981, recently announced it acquired the Personal Touch chain of three locations in Suffolk County on Long Island.
Glen Sheeley, Splash’s director of development in the New York metro and Connecticut regions, said he and his father had owner the Montgomery car wash for eight years earlier in his career.
“We’re so excited to have this site back in the Splash family,” Sheeley said.
After the deal closes, he said Splash intends to make improvements to the Montgomery car wash, including the addition of pay stations and self-service vacuums.
Mark Curtis, Splash’s co-founder and chief executive officer, said in a written statement the company has 10 new car washes that are either already under construction or about to break ground.
In addition, the company has more than 15 other proposed locations in various stages of the zoning and approval process.
Splash Car Wash was launched by Mark Curtis and Chris Fisher with a single location in Greenwich.
