Woodie’s Wash Shack announces closing on Lutz property to build

LUTZ, Fla. — Woodie’s Wash Shack is expanding with a new location in Lutz, Florida, according to a press release.

Construction on the project will begin the first quarter of 2020 and is slated for completion third quarter of 2020, the release continued.

Woodie’s Wash Shack at 5601 66th St. N. in St. Petersburg, Florida, has served as the prototype for Blue Water Wash’s Southeast expansion, the release stated. 

“Wechose this site because of its proximity to shopping and nearby neighborhoods with an above average household income. Along with a traffic count of over 60,000 cars a day. This site fits right into our geographical strategy of being the top carwash in the Tampa Bay area,” operating partner Glen Stygar said.

Wash Club members of the original Woodie’s on 66th will be able to take advantage of multiple carwash locations, as their membership will be universally accepted at all stores, the release stated.

By the year end of 2020, Woodie’s Wash Shack will have 13 locations in the Tampa metropolitan statistical area, the release noted.

Woodie’s Wash Shack is an express carwash inspired by the classic Woodie Car and surf culture of the 1950s, the release added.

Each Woodie’s Wash Shack creates approximately 10 new jobs and is equipped with free vacuums, on-site crew members and a membership model built with the customer and community in mind, the release noted.

The crew at Woodie’s Wash Shack seek to serve their communities by coordinating with local school’s fundraising efforts, offering discounts for military and building facilities with eco-friendly equipment, the release concluded.
