COLUMBIA, Mo. — Club Car Wash announced in a recent press release that it has acquired eight express wash locations from St. Louis, Missouri-based carwash chain, Tidal Wave Express Car Wash.
The brand has also partnered with Tidal Wave Express’ CEO to continue to accelerate its growth throughout the region.
Eight operating Tidal Wave Express locations, spanning from Fenton, Missouri, to O’Fallon, Illinois, along with a ninth currently under construction site in St. Charles, Missouri, will be rebranded to Club Car Wash, bringing the total number of Club sites in the St. Louis metropolitan area to 23.
