MILFORD,
Conn., July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Splash Car
Wash, headquartered in Milford,
Connecticut, today announced the opening of its
41st New York location,
an express wash located in Clay.
This marks Splash's third greenfield site opened this year and
seventh in the last twelve months. Splash now has over 70 car
washes open or under development in NY, CT, VT and MA and is ranked
as the 19th largest car wash operator in the United States.
The Clay location boasts an
impressive 140-foot tunnel outfitted with the latest technology and
equipment, including "Optimus Prep", Splash's high-pressure wash
system. Splash installed 24 free-of-charge vacuum stations, as well
as a mat cleaning room, to increase customer convenience and
enhance the car wash experience.
The construction was overseen by Dave
Clements and Jeff Arnold,
Splash's development partners in Upstate New York. Clements and
Arnold have also been responsible for the development of Splash's
Geneva, Leray, and Oswego express washes and have overseen major
renovations in Spencerport,
Brockport, and Greece.
Currently under construction are express washes in Rutland, VT, and Henrietta, Hamburg, and Jefferson City, NY, all of which
are expected to open later this year. "We're excited to expand our
operations in the Syracuse market
with the addition of our newest express wash in Clay", added Mark
Curtis, co-founder and CEO of Splash. "This joins our sites
in Liverpool and Cicero, and we should begin construction of a
new site in Fayetteville soon,
which will provide more convenience to our unlimited club members
in the area".
