ATLANTA, May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Mammoth Holdings LLC, America’s premier express car wash platform, announced its acquisition of a Jax Kar Wash (“Jax”), a single-site, flex-serve, conveyor car wash in Bradenton, Florida.
“The Jax acquisition is a great addition to our growing footprint in Florida, where we now have seven open locations and dozens more in process,” said Dave Hoffmann, Chairman and CEO of Mammoth Holdings. “We are very impressed with what the Milens and their team have achieved with this location and are confident Jax will be a strong complement to our recently acquired operations in the region.”

“Mammoth stands out as the role model in the industry with their clear commitment to both their customers and employees. We couldn’t think of a better partner for the Jax team,” said Tony Milen, Jax’s owner and a member of the multi-generation Milen family, who were early pioneers in the car wash industry.
Mammoth Holdings is the first car wash platform formed by industry insiders and has 99 operating locations. Mammoth is customer-focused operationally; operator-focused in its approach to acquisitions; and seeks to be the partner-of-choice for car wash operators who desire liquidity, growth capital, and a tax-deferred equity investment opportunity.
