Splash Car Wash Opens Its 65th Site
Milford, CT- November 11, 2024: Splash Car Wash, headquartered in Milford, Connecticut, today announced the opening of its 65th location, an express wash in Johnson City, New York. The new site, which has a 130-foot conveyor and outfitted with 16 free-of-charge self-service vacuum stations, is Splash’s 40th in the state of New York.
The Johnson City wash was completed under the direction of Dave Clements and Jeff Arnold, Splash’s development partners and the former owners of the Classy Chassy chain, which Splash acquired in October of 2021. Clements and Arnold are also managing the construction of new developments in Henrietta and Hamburg, New York, which are expected to open within the next few months.
Splash has construction set to begin soon in Springfield, Massachusetts, as well as Newburgh and Nanuet, New York with anticipated openings for the three sites in Summer 2025.
In addition to the Henrietta and Hamburg projects, Arnold and Clements are overseeing express wash developments in Fayetteville and Syracuse, New York, both of which will break ground in Spring.
