Conn., Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Splash
Car Wash, headquartered in Milford,
Connecticut, today announced the opening of its latest site,
an express wash in Rutland,
Vermont, its third in the state and eighth greenfield
location opened in the past 12 months. This latest site, combined
with the Shelburne, Vermont wash

cleaning system manufactured by Petit Auto Wash Equipment and comes
outfitted with 11 interior and 16 outdoor vacuums along with a mat
cleaning room available to customers at no cost with the price of a

The project was overseen by Aaron
Vincelette, Splash's development partner in the state,
alongside Glen Sheeley, Splash's
Director of Development. The chain currently has three additional
washes construction in Henrietta,
Hamburg, and Jefferson City, NY,
all of which are expected to open later this year. Splash will also
begin construction in the coming months on express washes in
Nanuet, Newburgh, Fayetteville and Syracuse, NY.

approval process in Vermont. Along
with ModernWash, he's constructed a fabulous looking site, equipped
with the latest technologies providing an enhanced customer
experience," stated Dan Petrelle,
COO of Splash. "It's exciting to see the growth at Splash continue
and we look forward to these new sites coming online."
