Express Wash Concepts acquires two Cosmo's Car Wash locations

The company is expanding into Detroit’s metro market with the new express tunnel car washes set to open in early March.

Express Wash Concepts (EWC) announced its Detroit metro expansion with the acquisition of two Cosmo's Car Wash development locations.

The brand-new express tunnel car washes will open in early March, under the Clean Express Auto Wash brand. With a continued focus on strategic core market development, an additional 25 EWC locations are scheduled to open in 2024 including 10 Detroit locations.

Express Wash Concepts currently operates more than 95 express wash locations across Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus, Hampton Roads and Pittsburgh.

"While our customers will enjoy a fast, high-quality, environmentally friendly wash experience with convenient locations all over Detroit, we are equally proud to invest in these communities by providing numerous multi-skill level job opportunities and community relations outreach initiatives," said John Roush, Express Wash Concepts Chief Executive Officer.

Express Wash Concepts was formed in April 2018 with the announcement of a strategic investment partnership with Wildcat Capital Management, the family office of TPG Capital co-founder David Bonderman. The company currently operates throughout Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Hampton Roads, Virginia; and Detroit, Michigan.
