ZIPS Car Wash acquires Rocket Express Car Wash
The company adds a 5-store mega car wash chain based in Idaho and Utah.
ZIPS Car Wash announces the acquisition of Rocket Express Car Wash, a 5-store mega car wash chain based in Idaho and Utah.
This acquisition brings ZIPS into the Mountain West and marks the first step of their plan for rapid and wide-spread expansion into western markets. This is ZIPS ninth closing transaction for this year, which is a record year of expansion with 27 stores acquired and two new sites developed in 2021. ZIPS now has 226 locations across 22 states.
"Rocket Express is known for its exceptional customer service and extreme focus on a great car wash experience for every customer. We're confident that we can continue their legacy and bring their expertise to our growing chain of express locations across the country," said Gene Dinkens, CEO, ZIPS Car Wash.
Rocket Express Car Wash is credited for introducing the industry to the very first Members Only express lane for Unlimited Wash Club Members, a feature ZIPS hopes to offer at many of its locations in the future. Rocket's strategic placement of its tunnels allowed them to construct the industry's longest conveyors, according to the company.
Founded in 2004, ZIPS Car Wash has grown from two Arkansas based locations to 226 locations across 22 states.
