ZIPS Car Wash has announced the acquisition of five car wash locations from Lightning McClean Car Wash in Virginia and North Carolina. The brand’s newest sites were acquired in late May and are being fully integrated into the company’s footprint consisting of 245 car washes across the United States.

With this acquisition, ZIPS has moved into new communities through this acquisition. Additional sites will add convenience to the greater Lynchburg, Virginia, a market where ZIPS currently operates four locations.

“This multi-site acquisition allows us to serve more customers in a concentrated area of southern Virginia and northern North Carolina, where we already have a strong presence in surrounding cities. Our strategic growth in this area brings added convenience to our customers and helps us accomplish our goals as we expand our footprint this year and work to obtain a strong market presence in communities we serve across the country,” said Mike Corey, Chief Development Officer at ZIPS Car Wash.

The new locations will be rebranded to reflect the current services offered by its new owner. Parallel to its recent expansion, the company has recently launched a new car wash prototype that enhances its current services for customers with the latest technology.

“To our loyal customers and members, the entire Lightning McClean team would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Durham, Greater Lynchburg, and Danville communities for your patronage and support over the past three years. You have truly become family to us, and we hope that we were a bright spot in your day whenever your car needed a wash,” added Scott Hamre, former Owner of Lightning McClean Car Wash.
