Transaction Synopsis
  • Splash Car Wash acquired the White Glove Car Wash chain, picking up its six remaining locations across Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
  • The deal marks Splash's entry into three new states, expanding its footprint beyond its existing base in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont.
  • Splash plans significant renovations to the acquired sites before rebranding them under the Splash name, using them as a base for further regional expansion.
Market Significance

The acquisition reflects the ongoing consolidation in the express car wash sector, where well-capitalized platforms continue to absorb smaller regional chains to build density and scale. By entering Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, Splash extends its Northeast/Mid-Atlantic corridor and positions itself to compete more directly with other acquisitive operators in those markets. The transaction also signals that private equity-backed roll-up strategies remain active in the industry, with established chains like the 1986-founded White Glove being folded into larger branded networks.
