"The level of support and expertise provided by Tommy's Express is unlike anything we have seen in any other franchise model. The decades of experience and the passion for the business is clear when you speak with anyone at Tommy's Express.

"We immediately felt that the Tommy's Express leadership team's core values were aligned with ours. We were also impressed with their commitment to quality, customer experience, and ongoing research and development. Their franchise model allows us to benefit from the half of a century of experience Tommy's Express has in the car wash industry."

Chris & Mesa R
Tommy's Express | Minnesota

"A big part of our decision to choose Tommy's Express was that we felt there would be additional support from the franchise program. Having a team of people behind us to help get off to a good start, the staff training, making sure the equipment is dialed in, and a clean, shiny, dry car."

Your journey with Tommy's Express

Discovery
Future partners begin with the franchise webinar. You get to know us and we get to know you. When you're ready, you'll sign the Franchise Disclosure Document to begin. We'll then host you for a tour of our West Michigan locations and finally, you will sign the franchise agreement.

Site Selection
Next, you'll have access to our real estate team to help you find the perfect piece of land and assist with the closing. Often, the search is not just for the best single site, but instead, looking for an area with several great opportunities that allow for market saturation.

Project Development
You'll engage a general contractor aided by our list of Tommy's preferred General Contractors. We'll assign a Project Manager to you to check the boxes and solve issues. You'll meet your permanent Franchise Business Consultant and Franchise Marketing Coordinator. Then, equipment is installed and calibrated. Now, after some pre-opening marketing, you're nearly ready to open.

Operational
When you are ready to start washing cars, our team provides you with soft opening and grand opening support, ongoing national and regional marketing campaigns, and continued education through Tommy University. Then, you get prepared to open more locations.
