Tommy’s Express Car Wash coming to Canada
OpenShine, a new division of OpenRoad Group, broke ground for a Tommy's Express Car Wash location, the first franchise location for Canada.
Set for a summer 2025 opening, this is the first of four Tommy's Express Car Wash operations set to open in Ontario. The three additional locations are to be in St. Thomas, London, and Waterloo.
“We are excited to be the first to bring Tommy’s Express Car Wash to Canada, starting in Ontario,” says Christian Tjia, operations manager, OpenShine. “Like our sister company OpenRoad Auto Group, who are leaders in the Canadian automotive retail industry, innovation, customer service, and community building is at the forefront of who we are at OpenShine. There is currently nothing quite like the upscale car wash service in Canada that Tommy’s Express Car Wash provides. There is a lot of potential, and we can’t wait for customers to get a first look very soon.”
Tommy’s Express Car Wash customer features include belt conveyors, free vacuums and mat washers, auto-entry via license plate scanners for monthly club members, and Detail Kits for additional interior cleaning.
“OpenRoad Auto Group is one of Canada’s leaders in the automotive industry, and we are pleased to partner with OpenShine to launch Tommy’s Express Car Wash in Canada for the very first time,” says Ryan Essenburg, president and CIO of Tommy’s Car Wash Systems. “Car wash technologies have seen vast advancement in development especially with belt conveyors, app-based club memberships, and high-volume processing tunnel speed – all of which sets Tommy’s Express Car Wash apart from others.”
