ZIPS Car Wash Celebrates Renovations Across West Texas with Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies in Plainview and San Angelo
ZIPS Car Wash, a leading provider of automated car wash services across the United States, is excited to announce the completion of significant upgrades at two of its West Texas locations. These enhancements will be celebrated with Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies next week, reflecting the company’s commitment to providing a modern, high-quality experience for its customers. ZIPS has been actively renovating its facilities throughout 2025, and the Plainview and San Angelo events highlight the company’s dedication to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
The festivities kick off on Tuesday, October 28, at the Plainview location, where ZIPS invites the public to celebrate alongside the Plainview Chamber of Commerce. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. at 4104 Olton Road, Plainview, TX 79072. Attendees will enjoy a complimentary car wash to experience firsthand the improvements made at the facility. Adding to the festive atmosphere, local vendor Howdy Popcorn will provide free popcorn giveaways for all guests.
Following Plainview’s celebration, ZIPS will host a second Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in San Angelo on Thursday, October 30, also at 11:30 a.m., in partnership with the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce. This event will take place at 4106 Sherwood Way, San Angelo, TX 76901. Guests attending the San Angelo ceremony can look forward to free ZIPS-branded swag items, air fresheners, and refreshments while supplies last. These events offer an opportunity for local communities to engage with ZIPS, experience the upgrades, and celebrate the company’s continued growth and investment in West Texas.
Pete Nani, CEO of ZIPS Car Wash, shared his enthusiasm for the renovations, emphasizing both their visual appeal and functional improvements. “The upgrades at our Plainview and San Angelo locations are designed to stand out from the roadside while simultaneously delivering a superior car wash experience,” Nani said. “Thanks to the dedication of our team members, maintenance technicians, and trusted vendor partners, our car washes now provide an even higher quality product and an exceptional shine that our customers will immediately notice.”
The renovations are part of ZIPS Car Wash’s broader effort to modernize facilities nationwide. In 2025 alone, ZIPS has completed upgrades at 35 locations, demonstrating the company’s commitment to providing top-tier service and enhancing the customer experience across its network. These improvements include state-of-the-art tunnel technology, enhanced washing equipment, and updated facility aesthetics designed to create a cleaner, faster, and more enjoyable car wash visit.
Beyond its operational improvements, ZIPS Car Wash has continued to demonstrate its commitment to community and service through philanthropic initiatives. This year, the company has strengthened its national partnership with Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing academic scholarships to the families of military service members. By supporting this initiative, ZIPS recognizes the sacrifices of U.S. service men and women and their families, ensuring that their children have access to quality education and opportunities for success.
At the Plainview Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, ZIPS will honor Brianne Mae Pruitt of Lubbock, Texas, as part of its ongoing partnership with Folds of Honor. Brianne is currently a junior at Lubbock Christian University, where she is pursuing a degree in Integrated Marketing Communication. She is the daughter of Sgt. John Britton Pruitt, who served over five years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including deployment to the Persian Gulf, and was injured in the line of duty. ZIPS’ recognition of Brianne highlights the company’s dedication to celebrating military families while raising awareness of the organization’s mission to support education for the children of service members.
ZIPS Car Wash encourages attendees to join in expressing gratitude to the men and women who serve the country. Through the company’s efforts in 2025, ZIPS will make a donation of $170,000 to Folds of Honor next month. This contribution, made possible through the support of ZIPS’ customers nationwide, reflects the company’s commitment to giving back to the community while strengthening ties with military families across the United States.
The renovations at the Plainview and San Angelo locations were designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. Customers visiting the newly upgraded facilities will notice visually striking exteriors that enhance curb appeal and convey the quality of service they can expect inside. The car wash tunnels feature upgraded washing equipment, optimized for speed, efficiency, and the ultimate finish on vehicles. In addition, maintenance improvements ensure that each location operates at peak performance, reducing downtime and enhancing the customer experience.
ZIPS’ investment in facility upgrades is complemented by a focus on sustainability and environmentally responsible practices. Many of the renovations include water reclamation systems, energy-efficient equipment, and eco-friendly cleaning solutions. By incorporating these features, ZIPS Car Wash not only enhances the quality of service for customers but also reduces the environmental impact of its operations—a core value for the company as it continues to expand and improve nationwide.
The Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies also serve as an opportunity for ZIPS to engage with local communities, small businesses, and vendors. In Plainview, the presence of Howdy Popcorn underscores ZIPS’ commitment to supporting local entrepreneurship while creating a fun, family-friendly event atmosphere. Similarly, the San Angelo ceremony provides a platform for interaction between ZIPS and the local community, reinforcing the company’s dedication to building strong, lasting relationships in the regions it serves.
These West Texas celebrations are emblematic of ZIPS Car Wash’s broader strategy for growth and customer engagement. By combining modernized facilities, superior service, and community involvement, ZIPS continues to set a standard for excellence in the car wash industry. Customers visiting the Plainview and San Angelo locations will enjoy not only a refreshed facility but also the knowledge that their patronage contributes to meaningful causes, such as supporting military families through education.
As the company looks toward the future, ZIPS plans to continue its expansion and renovation efforts, ensuring that all locations across the country meet the high standards customers have come to expect. The combination of technology upgrades, aesthetic improvements, and community engagement initiatives positions ZIPS as a leader in the automated car wash industry and a valued member of the communities it serves.
The upcoming Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies in Plainview and San Angelo provide an excellent opportunity for local residents to experience ZIPS Car Wash’s newly upgraded facilities, enjoy complimentary services and giveaways, and celebrate the company’s ongoing commitment to quality, service, and community. With a strong focus on innovation, customer satisfaction, and social responsibility, ZIPS Car Wash continues to redefine the car wash experience in Texas and across the United States.
