PLANO, Texas — ZIPS Car Wash (zipscarwash.com) has revealed in a press release that its Car Wash Convos™ episode featuring senior Rickea Jackson, Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball forward, is now on YouTube.

Rickea is interviewed by fellow student-athlete Kenzie Couch who is a senior on the UT Cheer Team pursuing a degree in public relations, as they experience a carwash at ZIPS in Knoxville.

ZIPS owns and operates 20 locations across Knoxville, over 30 locations in Tennessee and over 275 locations across the country.

Jackson’s video is the fourth in a series of 12 episodes that will launch this academic year.

“Thankful for the opportunity to partner with Zips Car Wash in Car Wash Convos. It’s an honor to be included in this interview series alongside such other talented athletes,” Jackson said.

“The energy and camaraderie we were able to capture in Rickea’s interview is exactly what we want to see happen at our locations between our team members and customers,” said Mark Youngworth, ZIPS chief marketing officer. “We are rooted in Knoxville and since the launch of our UT partnership, we’ve seen how our support of the school has brought not only ZIPS team members together, but it has formed a new bond with the community we serve. We are grateful for the opportunity to support Rickea, the Lady Vols and the entire Vol nation,” he added. 

Car Wash Convos, ZIPS’ video interview-based approach to NIL, will feature two additional athletes from the University of Tennessee this academic year, including men’s basketball forward Jonas Aidoo and softball pitcher Karlyn Pickens.
