New Silverstar Car Wash coming to Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — A new Silverstar Car Wash is planned to open in spring 2021 in Sioux Falls, according to news posted on Sioux Falls Argus Leader.
Crews started construction earlier this month on the corner of 41st St. and Grange Ave.
Silverstar purchased Empire Car Wash, which was formerly on the site, and permanently closed it in December.
Improvements are being made to “help improve traffic flow on-site and at this high traffic retail intersection,” said co-owner Bryan Slama in the article.
According to the news report, the location will also have 13 vacuum stalls, self-detailing compressed air tools and a room for customers to use automatic mat cleaners and buy cleaning supplies.
“This is a great central location on one of the busiest roads in Sioux Falls, and completing this remodel to upgrade the site gives our customers another convenient place to wash their vehicles,” Slama said.
The new carwash also has a partnership with wholesale giant Costco, letting members purchase SilverStar gift cards at discounted rates, added the news post.
