DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The International Car Wash Group (ICWG), the world’s largest local car
wash company and the third largest owner of US conveyor car washes,
today announced its expansion in to the middle Tennessee/Nashville

continue to expand our footprint across the US,” said Tom Mangas, CEO,
ICWG. “We are interested in doing more deals and hope that our
resourcefulness and flexibility will make ICWG an appealing choice for
car wash operators interested in selling their business and partnering
with us.”
