Summit Wash Holdings, an industry-leading, membership-focused car wash group with operations in Connecticut, New York, Nebraska, Missouri, New Jersey and Florida first established in 2022 is pleased to recognize the company has exceeded planned growth initiatives for 2025.
At the beginning of 2025, the company announced plans to end the 2025 calendar year with more than 80 Summit Wash Holdings locations; end of year location count currently totals 92. A total of 32 locations were opened in 2025 under the Russell Speeder’s, Waters Car Wash and Speeders Car Wash brands and overall growth of 338% since Summit Wash Holdings first started with 21 sites.
“As we look back on Summit Wash Holdings’ remarkable progress, we’re incredibly proud of what the team has accomplished,” said Ray Underwood, Chief Development Officer for Summit Wash Holdings. “Our focus on strategic expansion and innovation continues to create opportunities that serve our customers and strengthen our brand. While we take pride in our achievements, we’re even more energized by the growth and possibilities that lie ahead.”
In March 2025, the company expanded to the state of New Jersey under a new brand – Speeders Carwash. Moving forward, all new locations and acquisitions throughout the Northeast and Midwest feature Speeders’ branding. The rebranding of legacy Russell Speeder’s locations began during the second half of 2025 in a phased approach and continues.
“Our momentum in 2025 was nothing short of inspiring, and I am incredibly proud of how our team came together to exceed our ambitious growth targets,” said Dan Pittman, CEO of Summit Wash Holdings. “As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering exceptional service and elevating every interaction with our members and guests. Together, we are building more than a rapidly expanding platform; we are shaping the future of the car wash experience through innovation, a relentless focus on the customer, and a shared vision for sustainable, long-term growth.”
Established in 2022 and headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Summit was initially formed through a partnership with Russell Speeder’s Car Wash, a 21-site family-owned car wash platform, and New Mountain Capital, a New York-based investment firm.
