ZIPS Car Wash expands network in North Carolina

The car wash operator now has a network of more than 225 express car washes across 22 states.

ZIPS Car Wash has acquired two single sites from Heroes Car Wash and from Rocket Wash Express, both in North Carolina. ZIPS now operates 32 locations across North Carolina, becoming one of the largest, privately-held express car wash operators in the state.

The ZIPS acquisition of Heroes Car Wash marks the second transaction with the principal Heroes group. In 2021, ZIPS acquired from the group Carolina Car Wash in Greensboro, NC, expanding ZIPS site count in greater Winston Salem to seven locations.

“The Rocket and Heroes acquisitions expand our ever-growing footprint in North Carolina. Our growth strategy continues to improve and evolve as we work to expand in a way that benefits both our customers and our business model,” said Mike Corey, Chief Development Officer for ZIPS Car Wash.

“Our growth through both acquisitions and development in North Carolina has come about quickly and energizes us to serve customers in both the larger, metro areas of North Carolina and in the smaller communities,” said Corey.

This is the company’s first transaction with Rocket Wash Express, a brand based out of North Carolina, that continues to operate a handful of locations across the state.
