ZIPS Car Wash Celebrates Renovated Central Kentucky Locations with Free Wash Weekend and Community Events
ZIPS Car Wash is celebrating the completion of renovations at three Central Kentucky locations with a special customer appreciation weekend featuring complimentary car washes, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, exclusive membership promotions, giveaways, and recognition of local military families through the company’s partnership with Folds of Honor.
The two-day celebration will take place Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, giving drivers an opportunity to experience the newly renovated facilities while enjoying free car washes and special offers. The event is designed to thank customers for their continued support and highlight the improvements made at the three participating locations.
Drivers can receive a complimentary car wash during the celebration at the following remodeled ZIPS Car Wash locations:
- 1250 S. Broadway, Lexington, Kentucky 40504
- 1776 Sharkey Way, Lexington, Kentucky 40511
- 104 Osborne Way, Georgetown, Kentucky 40324
The renovations are part of ZIPS Car Wash’s broader effort to improve the customer experience across its network. The upgraded Central Kentucky locations feature refreshed exterior designs, enhanced customer areas, and operational improvements intended to make the car-washing process more efficient and convenient.
For drivers who rely on express car wash services, the improvements are designed to create a smoother experience from the moment customers arrive. The updated facilities reflect ZIPS’ continued investment in its locations while maintaining the express wash service that customers have come to expect from the brand.
Free Car Washes and Special Membership Offers
The grand reopening celebration will offer customers more than just complimentary washes. During the July 24–25 event, current and new ZIPS Unlimited members will have the opportunity to take advantage of a limited-time family membership promotion.
As part of the special offer, eligible members can add a family vehicle to their ZIPS Unlimited membership at no additional cost. The promotion is available only during the customer appreciation event, and customers interested in the offer are encouraged to speak directly with a ZIPS team member at one of the participating locations for complete details and eligibility information.
The promotion is intended to give families additional flexibility while making it easier for multiple vehicles in the same household to receive regular professional car wash service.
Doug Miller, Vice President of Marketing for ZIPS Car Wash, said the grand reopening events are intended to show appreciation to the company’s customers and encourage local drivers to visit the renovated locations.
“This Grand Re-opening is our way of thanking customers for their continued support with the hope that they will come experience the upgrades on our free wash days,” Miller said. “If you’ve ever considered adding a family member’s vehicle to your Unlimited membership, now is the time to take advantage of this limited-time offer.”
Ribbon-Cutting Ceremonies to Mark Renovation Completion
In addition to the free washes and membership promotion, ZIPS will host ribbon-cutting ceremonies at the renovated locations to officially commemorate the completion of the improvements.
The first ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, July 23, at 10:00 a.m. at the ZIPS Car Wash location at 1250 S. Broadway in Lexington. The event will be held in partnership with Commerce Lexington and will officially recognize the completion of the renovation project at the location.
The celebration will continue on Friday, July 24, at noon with another ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Georgetown location at 104 Osborne Way. ZIPS will hold the event alongside the Owensboro Chamber of Commerce.
The ceremonies are expected to bring together ZIPS representatives, local business leaders, community members, customers, and other guests to celebrate the company’s continued presence and investment in the Central Kentucky market.
ZIPS to Recognize Folds of Honor Scholarship Recipients
The grand reopening events will also highlight ZIPS Car Wash’s national partnership with Folds of Honor, an organization that provides educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled service members.
Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the 1250 S. Broadway location, ZIPS will recognize four local scholarship recipients from Berea, Kentucky. The recipients are siblings from the Romine family:
- Eloise Hailey Romine, a second-grade student
- Lennon Ray Romine, a rising fifth-grade student
- Allen “AJ” Jacob Romine, a rising 10th-grade student
- Hunter Nathaniel Romine, a rising 12th-grade student
The four students are the children of Specialist Alec Ray Romine, who served more than six years in the U.S. Army as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist and Infantryman.
During his military service, Specialist Romine deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He was later disabled in the line of duty and received the Purple Heart in recognition of his service and sacrifice.
Through its relationship with Folds of Honor, ZIPS Car Wash is helping support the educational journeys of the Romine siblings while recognizing the sacrifices made by their family. The scholarship program is designed to help military families pursue educational opportunities and reduce some of the financial challenges associated with higher education.
Georgetown Student Also Receives Scholarship Recognition
The Georgetown ribbon-cutting ceremony will include recognition of another local Folds of Honor scholarship recipient, Audryana Scarlett Harris.
A Georgetown resident, Harris is currently a sophomore at Transylvania University. She is studying Pre-Law, International Law, and Political Science and plans to pursue a career in international law at the highest levels of government.
Harris is the daughter of Staff Sgt. Jonathan Keith Harris, who served more than 20 years in the U.S. Army. During his military career, he worked as a Radio and COMSEC Repairer and CBRN Specialist.
Staff Sgt. Harris completed multiple deployments to Iraq and was disabled in the line of duty. His military service and sacrifice have helped make his daughter eligible for support through the Folds of Honor scholarship program.
ZIPS said recognizing scholarship recipients such as Harris and the Romine siblings reflects the company’s commitment to supporting military families and contributing to the communities in which it operates.
Customers Can Enter to Win a Free Year of Car Washes
In addition to the free car washes and membership promotion, visitors attending the celebration will have the opportunity to enter a giveaway for a free Premier Car Wash Membership for one year.
To be eligible, customers must complete their giveaway entry in person during the event. The promotion adds another incentive for local drivers to visit the renovated ZIPS locations during the customer appreciation weekend.
The combination of free washes, membership savings, giveaways, community partnerships, and scholarship recognition is expected to make the event a significant celebration for ZIPS customers and Central Kentucky residents.
Investing in the Customer Experience
The renovations at the three Central Kentucky locations represent ZIPS Car Wash’s ongoing efforts to modernize its facilities and improve the customer experience. Updated exteriors, enhanced customer areas, and operational improvements are intended to create a more convenient and efficient experience for drivers.
As the express car wash industry continues to evolve, operators are increasingly focusing on speed, convenience, technology, facility upgrades, and customer loyalty programs. ZIPS’ investment in its Kentucky locations reflects that broader trend while also emphasizing the importance of local community engagement.
The company’s Unlimited membership program is another part of its customer-focused strategy, allowing drivers to receive regular car washes while providing additional value to families with multiple vehicles. The limited-time family vehicle promotion during the grand reopening weekend gives customers an opportunity to explore the benefits of the program.
For ZIPS, however, the celebration extends beyond facility improvements and customer promotions. The company is also using the event to recognize the contributions and sacrifices of military families through its ongoing partnership with Folds of Honor.
By combining business investment with community recognition, ZIPS Car Wash aims to celebrate both the physical transformation of its locations and the people who support its operations.
Central Kentucky drivers are invited to visit the participating ZIPS locations during the July 24–25 celebration to take advantage of the complimentary car washes, learn more about the limited-time membership offer, enter the one-year Premier Membership giveaway, and experience the newly renovated facilities.
The events will provide customers with an opportunity to see the improvements firsthand while joining ZIPS Car Wash in recognizing local scholarship recipients and honoring the military families who have made significant sacrifices in service to the country.
