Project Spotlight: Tommy’s Express Car Wash

We’re thrilled to share the new Tommy’s Express Car Wash on south Ridge Road is now open! A new franchise to the Wichita area, Tommy’s is known around the country for the quality of their car wash equipment which allows them to provide a quality wash with minimal human interaction. The building’s exterior finishes set it apart among competitors with its bright red metal panels and its arched stainless steel entry and exit. Along with the car wash, there are several vacuum stations installed that are free to use with the purchase of a wash.
