* Denotes a partial company acquisition and/or divestiture.
This is a small, single-site tuck-in that reinforces a regional operator's density in its home market rather than a platform-scale deal, reflecting how local car wash consolidation often happens one location at a time. For Wet Rabbit, a young express chain that had been expanding across Washington, the divestiture of its Lakewood site suggests a pullback from the Pierce County/Tacoma area to focus on its core north-Puget Sound footprint. The transaction fits the broader industry pattern of membership-driven express washes changing hands as established operators use acquisitions to add subscribers and deepen route density in markets they already know.
