Spotless Brands buys Epic Shine and Bluebird Express Car Wash

Two local car wash companies have been acquired by one of the top 10 car wash companies in the country.

Boise-based Bluebird Express Car Wash and Nampa-based Epic Shine Car Wash were both acquired by Spotless Brands of Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois.

Bluebird filed an application with the City of Boise last month to change the registered ownership of the buildings it previously owned to Spotless. Bluebird declined to comment at the time and Spotless later issued a press release about the acquisitions. Terms of the deals were not disclosed.

Private equity firm Access Holdings founded Spotless Brands in 2020 with the goal of building a “transformative, innovative and enduring leader.” The company began acquiring Cobblestone Auto Spa and its 27 locations in 2020, and with the latest deals it now owns 197 car washes across the country. Prior to the Epice Shine and Bluebird Express deals, Spotless operated four different brands.

Bluebird currently operates six locations in Boise, Meridian, Caldwell and Ontario, with another location planned in Emmett. Bluebird was founded in 2019 by John Michael Fery. Fery and his brother Dominick served as the company’s CEO and COO, respectively.

Epic Shine has eight car wash locations in Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Caldwell and Twin Falls, with another location planned for Star. Dan Abel founded Epic Shine in 2015 on the corner of Chinden and Linder.

Together and with the proposed locations, Epic Shine and Bluebird operate 16 locations and would form the largest collection of jointly owned facilities in the Boise region.

“We are excited to enter these two new states with the additions of Bluebird Express Car Wash and Epic Shine Car Wash,” said John Standley, CEO of Spotless Brands. “Spotless is pleased to provide our fully integrated, centralized services to help the Bluebird and Epic Shine teams continue to provide outstanding service to their loyal customers and local communities.”
