Club Car Wash adds eight Tidal Wave Express Car Wash locations

The company has announced a new partnership to continue its growth throughout the region and bring its total number of sites in the region to 23.

Club Car Wash has acquired eight express wash locations of St. Louis, Missouri-based car wash chain, Tidal Wave Express Car Wash. The company also confirmed that it has partnered with Tidal Wave’s CEO to continue to accelerate Club Car Wash’s growth throughout the region.

The new sites span from Fenton, Missouri, to O’Fallon, Illinois, along with a ninth currently under construction site in St. Charles. All locations will be rebranded to the new owner’s brand and will bring the total number of Club Car Wash sites in the St. Louis metropolitan area to 23. The transaction excludes three full service Tidal Wave Wash Center car washes with convenience stores and fuel stations.

“We are excited to add these high quality locations and people to the Club Car Wash family and expand our growth in the St. Louis market. As the Official Car Wash of the St. Louis Cardinals, we are committed to our customers in St. Louis and look forward to serving more of the community,” said Rollie Bartels, CEO of Club Car Wash.

The purchase has added up to a total of 109 operating locations throughout the Central United States for the company. This expansion is part of the firm’s strategy to reach a total of 140 locations in 2022.

“Partnering with the Wildcat Capital Management team and Club Car Wash felt like the right next step in the evolution of Tidal Wave Express Car Wash - it pairs out premier locations and expansive pipelines of future locations with Club’s best-in-class operational model and provides tremendous career growth opportunities for our employees,” added Mace Nosovitch, CEO of Tidal Wave.
