Our Biggest Fans

Richard S

Tommy's Express | Macon, GA

"My partner and I wanted to go into business together, and we thought about several different businesses and we chose a car wash business to start. We looked at several different manufacturers of car wash equipment. We settled on Tommy's Express when we visited Holland, MI. Once we went up there for the franchisors meeting and looked at all the equipment there was no doubt in my mind that Tommy's Express was the way to go."

Chris & Mesa R

Tommy's Express | New Hope, MN

"A big part of our decision to choose Tommy's Express was that we felt there would be additional support from the franchise program. Having a team of people behind us to help get off to a good start, the staff training, making sure the equipment is dialed in, and a clean, shiny, dry car."

Your journey with Tommy's Express

Discovery

Future partners begin with the franchise webinar. You get to know us and we get to know you. When you're ready, you'll sign the Franchise Disclosure Document to begin. We'll then host you for a tour of our West Michigan locations and finally, you will sign the franchise agreement.

Site Selection

Next, you'll have access to our real estate team to help you find the perfect piece of land and assist with the closing. Often, the search is not just for the best single site, but instead, looking for an area with several great opportunities that allow for market saturation.

Project Development

You'll engage a general contractor aided by our list of Tommy's preferred General Contractors. We'll assign a Project Manager to you to check the boxes and solve issues. You'll meet your permanent Franchise Business Consultant and Franchise Marketing Coordinator. Then, equipment is installed and calibrated. Now, after some pre-opening marketing, you're nearly ready to open.

Operational

When you are ready to start washing cars, our team provides you with soft opening and grand opening support, ongoing national and regional marketing campaigns, and continued education through Tommy University. Then, you get prepared to open more locations.
