Mr. Clean Car Wash Coming To Texas In Big Way

September 9th, 2009 | Author: Jack

There may have been six flags over Texas, but there could soon be more than 20 Mr. Clean Car Washes in the Lone Star State.

Mr. Clean Car Wash has announced that it expects to open its first Texas franchise in Round Rock, just outside Austin, by spring 2010. Mr. Clean Car Wash is operated by Agile Pursuits Franchising, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Procter & Gamble Company, and executives have strategically selected eastern Texas for rapid expansion.

Mr. Clean Car Wash currently has 16 locations in Georgia and Ohio, with seven more under development in the southeast, OhioValley, Chicago, and Colorado. With a vision of becoming the country’s first national car wash franchise network, Mr. Clean Car Wash is accepting franchise applications nationwide, but is giving special attention and consideration to three Texas markets seven months after announcing its national expansion.

“Texas is an ideal location for our business,” said Bruce Arnett Sr., CEO of Mr. Clean Car Wash. “The climate, the size of the markets, the economy – Texas is a big opportunity for us.” In addition to Austin, management is targeting Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston for up to 21 car washes combined. “We’re serious about Texas and are taking the steps to make our presence there really big, really fast, and really successful,” Arnett said, adding that Mr. Clean Car Washes are aesthetically pleasing for the community. Each car wash will be new construction, and the 21 sites could bring hundreds of new jobs – that include wages, tips, and benefits – to Texas.
