USA: Driven Brands acquires four car washes in Florida
The sites belonged to Arland Car Wash, a familiy-owned business. Florida is a “major focus” for Driven Brands' network expansion plans.
Driven Brands Car Wash North America acquired four Arland Car Wash locations in Florida, United States. The centres are located in Lehigh Acres, Port Richey and two in Brooksville, according to a press release.
Arland Car Wash is a family-owned business started by Arcip Horobet, who opened his first location in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2008. After selling that first location in 2015, Horobet added five car washes in Florida starting in 2017.
“The Florida market is a great market and a major focus for us to continue to build our network,” said Driven Brands Car Wash North America President, Gabe Mendoza. “We look forward to adding more single-location and multiple-location operations to our portfolio of carwash companies.”
Driven Brands Car Wash operates over 900 locations in 14 countries across US, Europe and Australia, with over 200 US sites. Driven Brands Car Wash North America operates under the Car Wash USA Express, Goo-Goo Express Wash, Supersonic Car Wash, The Wash Factory, and Mister B’s brands.
