Zips buys 9 Fla locations

Car Wash Operator Spends $50M on 9 Florida Locations

El Car Wash acquired six ZIPS Car Wash (“ZIPS”) Orlando locations and three SPIN Car Wash locations in Broward County, totaling over $50 million.


With these acquisitions, El Car Wash now operates 65 locations with more than 300,000 active members and has over 60 additional sites in development across Florida and Michigan. The company remains on track to surpass 100 locations by the end of 2026.

El Car Wash will invest significantly in upgrading these newly acquired sites, enhancing wash quality, and elevating the customer experience—hallmarks of the El Car Wash brand.

Additionally, ZIPS and SPIN locations will be integrated into El Car Wash’s membership program, allowing both new and existing members access to 100+ locations as the company continues its rapid growth.

In 2025 alone, El Car Wash has already opened new locations in Lake Nona, Merritt Island, Oakland Park, Lake Worth, and Hialeah Gardens, with plans to open 20 new stores by year’s end.
