Splash Car Wash Opens Its 66th Location, An Express Site in Henrietta, NY
Milford, CT – January 6, 2025: Splash Car Wash, headquartered in Milford, Connecticut, today announced the opening of its 66th location in Henrietta, New York. The new wash, outfitted with a 130-foot conveyor and 27 free self-service vacuums, is Splash’s 41st in New York .
The Henrietta location was completed under the direction of Dave Clements and Jeff Arnold, two of 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 a new site in Hamburg, New York, which is expected to open within the next month.
“Every new site we open is exciting for us and our team,” stated Mark Curtis CEO and co-founder of Splash. “This new site is designed and equipped to handle high volume, and we’ve opened just in time to handle all the cars covered in salt from this recent snowstorm.” Dan Petrelle, President, added, “we are very focused on continuing to expand our platform in the Northeast with state-of-the-art buildings, equipment, systems and services.”
In addition to the two car washes described above, Splash has started construction on three new express washes in Fayetteville, Newburgh and Nanuet New York and one in Springfield, Massachusetts, with anticipated openings in the late summer to early fall 2025.
