Express Wash Concepts Expands Regional Leadership with Royalton Car Wash Acquisition
For immediate release:
Columbus, Ohio & Cleveland, Ohio, September 17, 2025—
Express Wash Concepts (EWC) today announced the acquisition of Royalton Car Wash, located at 6165 Royalton Road in North Royalton, Ohio. With this addition, EWC now operates 124 express wash locations across six states under five award-winning brands. More than 25 additional sites already slated to open or break ground by early 2026.
The acquisition, which will be rebranded as a Clean Express Auto Wash, strengthens EWC’s growing footprint in Northeast Ohio. EWC has temporarily closed the location to invest significantly in site upgrades, technology, and branding enhancements to deliver the speed, quality, and value customers expect across its regional network. The reimagined location is set to reopen in March, 2026.
“This expansion strengthens Express Wash Concepts’ position as a regional leader in delivering unmatched customer experiences and meaningful community impact,” said John Roush, Founder and CEO of Express Wash Concepts. “With 124 locations across Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia and beyond, we are committed to setting the standard for express car care while also investing in the neighborhoods we serve. From job creation to community giving, our growth is about more than car washes — it’s about making a lasting difference across every market we call home.”
Home grown and operated, the Clean Express Auto Wash portfolio includes 49 express car wash locations across Greater Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Toledo. Clean Express has repeatedly earned recognition for its high-quality wash experience and overall customer service, including Top Workplaces honors from Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer.
