ModWash’s location directory lists centers in Florida cities including Daytona Beach, Gainesville, Orlando and Port Charlotte, where it has two locations. WhatNow reported that the chain had 134 operating locations across the country.
The company has not announced an address for its planned Miami-area wash center. WhatNow reported that CEO Karen Hutton told the outlet a groundbreaking ceremony was expected soon, with the company hoping to open next spring. The outlet described the project as ModWash’s first in the Miami area and said its nearest existing center was in Cocoa.
ModWash began in 2020 with a location in Lexington, North Carolina. The company was launched by Chattanooga-based Hutton, a real estate, development and investment firm, according to Professional Carwashing & Detailing.
A 2020 Chattanooga Times Free Press report quoted Hutton saying that developing a ModWash unit cost about $3.5 million to $4 million, with permitting and construction typically taking roughly 14 months.
