Press Release

Andrey set out to build something of his own—Galaxy Car Wash. Inspired by a friend’s success in the car wash industry and driven by a passion for service and branding, he envisioned a modern, family-inspired express wash in the heart of the community.

With help from Sonny’s and a strong sense of vision (plus a little inspiration from his kids), Galaxy Car Wash quickly evolved into a destination known for its stellar theme and customer-first experience.

The Challenge

Their first attempt at building a wash in Pennsylvania was stalled by years of permitting delays, eventually leading them to sell the project. Ready for a fresh start in Florida, the Galaxy Car Wash needed:

• A high-traffic site with long-term growth potential
• A reliable equipment and operations setup
• A unique, memorable brand experience
• Professional guidance through design, construction, and compliance hurdles

The Solution

Partnering with Sonny’s CarWash Development team, Galaxy Car Wash was designed and built to deliver operational excellence and a standout customer experience. Key elements included:

Complete Site Design & Support – From original site planning to equipment package decisions and permitting support, Sonny’s CarWash Development team provided a turnkey approach with continuous hands-on assistance.

Optimized Equipment & Layout – The location features a full suite of Sonny’s equipment, including a buff-and-dry system, smart tunnel controls, and a thoughtfully designed vacuum layout – all aimed at efficiency and quality.

Creative Branding & Marketing with Slam – With help from Sonny’s Carwash Marketing, Galaxy developed a striking space-themed brand that carried across signage, digital campaigns, website design, and in-store visuals. A targeted Founders Club presale helped drive early awareness.

Grand Opening Strategy – Sonny’s CarWash Marketing team provided a phased launch playbook that helped Galaxy plan promotions around their timeline and budget, boosting visibility while keeping operations nimble.

The Outcome

Strong Membership Base at Launch – Thanks to pre-opening efforts and a bold local presence, Galaxy Car Wash opened with a significant number of members already enrolled.

Efficient Operations – LPR technology, Digital Queue, E-Commerce Account Integration, and other smart systems keep throughput smooth while reducing friction for customers and staff alike.

Distinct Brand Experience – The Galaxy tunnel, with its dynamic lighting and signage, delivers a unique and memorable wash every time.

Trusted Partnership – By working with Sonny’s Car Wash Development team from planning to operations, Galaxy Car Wash was able to focus on growth while relying on proven expertise every step of the way.
