AKRON, Ohio — In March 2020, the coronavirus pandemic made its mark on the U.S. as state and local governments began closing down non-essential businesses and putting in place stay-at-home orders.
Many of these orders obtained new developments over the course of weeks. Even within the same state, carwashes were confused on whether they were able to stay open or not.
Some areas regulated that only certain types of carwashes, such as full-serves, close down, or they mandated that areas of a carwash no longer be open to customers, such as the vacuum areas at express carwashes.
