Sud Stop Car Wash, one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing express car wash chains, announced a major milestone in its regional expansion strategy with the simultaneous grand openings of two new corporate locations in Florida. The dual openings bring the brand’s Sunshine State footprint to 11 locations, cementing its position as a rapidly scaling force in the automated car wash industry.
The new facilities are strategically located to capture both high-growth suburban commuter traffic and new regional markets:
- Orlando Metro Market (10th Florida Location): Located at 8174 Clarcona Ocoee Road in Orlando, the wash is situated near the high-traffic intersection of North Apopka Vineland Road. The site marks Sud Stop’s second facility in Greater Orlando.
- Florida Panhandle Market (11th Florida Location): Located at 4810 Mobile Highway in Pensacola, the site is positioned just north of West Fairfield Drive/US 90 near major retail anchors. The site marks Sud Stop’s official entry into the Florida Panhandle, expanding its reach across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
“Simultaneously launching two premier facilities on opposite ends of the state is a testament to our robust operational model and the strength of our development pipeline,” said Rob Consalvo, CEO of Sud Stop. “Whether we are deepening our roots in the competitive Greater Orlando market or introducing our express concept to the Panhandle, our goal remains the same: driving asset value and market share by delivering an elite, technology-forward customer experience.”
The new locations showcase Sud Stop’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure and rapid-throughput technology. Designed to process vehicles in under four minutes, the express tunnels integrate cutting-edge automated systems alongside advanced eco-friendly water filtration and reclamation technology. This infrastructure drastically reduces freshwater consumption per wash, an increasingly critical benchmark for municipal compliance and environmental stewardship in Florida.
In addition to high-efficiency tunnel mechanics, both properties feature premium consumer amenities. The footprint incorporates high-powered vacuums, compressed-air blowers, microfiber towel stations, and specialized mat cleaners, creating a value-added environment designed to maximize customer retention and drive subscription growth.
