DALLAS, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mammoth Holdings LLC, America’s premier express car wash platform, announced the appointment of Terry Emerson as President and Chief Operating Officer. Most recently as Senior Vice President of Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers, Terry brings over 20 years of distinguished leadership in the automotive and retail sectors, punctuated by a commitment to team development and best-in-class customer service.
“Terry Emerson will play a pivotal role in refining Mammoth’s go-to-market strategy as we continue to expand our presence in a highly competitive industry,” said Dave Hoffmann, Chairman and CEO of Mammoth Holdings. “His leadership will further strengthen our commitment to operational excellence and a performance-driven culture.”
“I’m thrilled to join the dynamic management team built by Dave Hoffmann,” said Terry Emerson. “Mammoth is primed to embrace huge opportunity in the express car wash sector and I’m excited to add my passion for building high-performance teams that deliver sustainable growth.”
At Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers, Emerson was instrumental in guiding the company’s growth over the past decade from 150 to 2,300 locations across multiple platforms through strategic greenfield development and M&A—all while nurturing a company culture rooted in positivity and shared values. Emerson’s leadership philosophy – centered on mentorship, open dialogue, and leading by example – consistently drove team excellence and resulted in the lowest employee turnover rates across the organization.
Emerson led many specific initiatives at Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers that contributed to the company’s growth. He launched and led the Ascend Leadership Workshop, a program designed to cultivate leaders at all levels of the organization and embed mission, vision, and values in a scalable and sustainable way during a period of rapid expansion.
Emerson also founded the recruitment, development, and retention department, which became a cornerstone in scaling the company effectively. His development of the Vehicle Service Professional standard operating process significantly boosted mechanical and tire service revenues and profits. Additionally, he revolutionized operational oversight through the implementation of electronic store evaluations and focus reporting, providing unmatched transparency and enhancing performance metrics.
“Terry’s vision for leadership is devising creative growth strategies, empowering teams, and cultivating an environment where success is both shared and amplified at every level,” said Dave Hoffmann.
Emerson also brings experience from previous roles at Bridgestone and TBC Corporation. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Management/Computer Information Systems from Park University. Additionally, his dedication to service extends beyond the professional sphere. He actively volunteers with the Special Olympics and youth sports, embodying a lifelong commitment to teamwork and community.
