Whistle Express to Make a Splash in Jacksonville with Grand Opening and Donation to Blessings in a Backpack
Celebration will include exclusive promotions, $1 donation to the Blessings in a Backpack for every car washed, a ribbon cutting and more
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Aug. 12, 2024) Whistle Express, a car wash committed to providing all customers with a premium wash experience through technology and innovation, is opening its fifth Jacksonville location. The new wash is located at 110 Southside Blvd.
Whistle is deeply committed to giving back to the communities it serves. In partnership with Blessings in a Backpack, Jacksonville drivers will have the opportunity to make a difference by donating backpacks filled with approved supplies. Donations can be made from Aug. 12 to 16. Drivers who bring in two pieces of approved supplies on Aug. 16 will get a free car wash.
Community members are invited to join in the festivities on Friday, Aug. 23 at 11 a.m. when the car wash will host a ribbon cutting. A Kona Ice food truck will be onsite with free slushies from 12 – 3 p.m. and drivers will also enjoy the chance to buy a wash and get the next 30 days free as part of the celebration. All weekend, Whistle Express will also donate $1 from each car through the wash to Blessings in a Backpack, up to $1,000.
“At Whistle Express, we’re here for you. Whether cleaning the car and brightening the day of a busy mom or filling backpacks for Jacksonville-area students to thrive in the classroom, our commitment is to the local communities we serve,” said Josh Henson, Regional Vice President of East Territory. “We’re honored to bring a touch of joy to Jacksonville-area drivers and we can’t wait to see you soon.”
Each Whistle Express wash is designed to clean, shine, and protect vehicles by offering a quick service experience that’s a cut above the rest. Leveraging the latest and most effective tunnel equipment, Whistle Express gets a car squeaky clean in under three minutes, and provides customers with free high-powered vacuums, air nozzles, spray cleaners and clean microfiber towels to ensure each auto sparkles inside and out. Add affordable and effective protective treatments to any standard wash to maintain each clean and protect the car from bugs, pollen, and other elements. Whistle Express’ innovative technology also reclaims up to 85 percent of water used during a wash and uses an average of 91 percent less water than a standard at-home wash.
The car wash industry is undergoing rapid consolidation as investors see opportunities to take what has historically been a fragmented business comprised of thousands of independent operators and offer customers a more consistent, elevated experience. Whistle Express has grown to become the 10th-largest car wash operator in America, with plans to more than double its size in the next couple years.
