In my job, I have the privilege of sharing the stories of individuals and businesses that are making a difference in the car care industry. In recent years, there has been significant growth and opportunity in the market, along with a greater awareness of the importance of car care. Customers are no longer just patrons of carwashes; many have become dedicated members of our industry.
Driven by innovation and expertise from leaders in the field, the professional carwash industry is meeting the growing demand and evolving needs of customers. I have had the pleasure of speaking with many industry pioneers who all share a common passion for washing cars and serving customers.
In the upcoming issue of Professional Carwashing & Detailing (PC&D) magazine, we will be announcing this year’s Vehicle Care RockStar in the carwash category. We look forward to sharing her story and the impact she is making on the market.
This month marks an important event in the industry: The Car Wash Show™ 2024. Hosted by the International Carwash Association (ICA), the event will feature over 190,000 square feet of expo space and more than 400 exhibitors. With over 9,000 attendees expected to gather at the Music City Center in Nashville from May 13-15, this is an event not to be missed.
In addition to the expo area, attendees can take advantage of educational sessions and networking opportunities. The PC&D team will be in attendance and we hope to see you there.
This issue of the publication is filled with helpful articles to help operators improve their businesses. From exploring equipment financing options to marketing tips, there is something for everyone in this edition of PC&D.
