A fourth Skogie’s Car Wash
is slated for Kelowna, British
Columbia, according to an October
5 Casanet story.
No stranger to the industry, owner Dave Skolund built
his first car wash 49 years ago and will be celebrating its
50 anniversary next May.
Dave’s sons, Chris and Jason Skoglund, are now operating
the business, with its other three locations throughout
British Columbia.
The new location will offer a 160-foot tunnel car
wash, 10 self-service bays, 15 vacuums, and a free vacuum
token with every car wash purchase. It will also be
home to a Canco gas station and convenience store.
According to the story, Skogie’s is also offering memberships,
which start at $35.99 per month, that will work
at all Skogie’s tunnel car washes. Members will be able
to get their car washed every day that their membership
is active. Skogie’s is also planning a big celebration for its
50th anniversary in the spring that will feature plenty of
giveaways and specials for its clientele, the story said.
