The September event had record-breaking vendor booths

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — The 32nd Northeast Regional Carwash Convention (NRCC), September 19-21, at the Atlantic City Convention Center reached its highest booth count in the show’s history, with 358 sold. And although attendee numbers did not surpass those of 2022, the energy from the seminar lineup and Keynote Speaker put the show over the top, according to Dave Ellard and John Shalbey, Jr., show co-chairs. “Attendees were excited to be at an event with a bunch of carwash entrepreneurs and be able to talk about business, make deals and have fun,” said Shalbey. “From the exhibitor side I heard that attendees were not just kicking tires, but truly investigating and spending money on the latest and greatest technology.”

Spring Carwash
Tour Recap

The New York State Car Wash Association (NYSCWA) spent a picture-perfect day touring three unique washes before heading back to the Hilton Garden Inn in Clifton Park on May 2 for drinks, dinner and a program on how to master your Google business profile. The full tour bus was sponsored by Simoniz USA.

The first stop on the tour was a one-year-young site in Malta called Buster’s Car Wash. The Sonny’s-equipped express exterior boasts a 120-foot conveyor, 18 free vacs and a Buster’s radio station for its customers listening pleasure. The site also features “green” chemicals. It is owned by the Lansing family and opened in December of 2023.  read more

NYSCWA Holds Event at JMA Dome

SYRACUSE, NY, — The New York State Car Wash Association (NYSCWA) held an informal event at the JMA Wireless Dome (formerly The Carrier Dome) on September 23 when the Syracuse Orange took on the Army West Point Black Knights for a noon football game here. The event was sponsored by Simoniz USA and Micrologic.

A pre-game was hosted by K & S Car Wash and catered by Lasca’s Restaurant, both of Auburn. “We were happy to help out and provide some great food for those in attendance,” said Chris Kubarek, with K & S and an NYSCWA board member. “It was a fun day.”

The Orange were victorious beating the Black Knights 29 to 16. Added NYSCWA President Walt Hartl, “Thanks to our sponsors and to those who were able to come out to the game. You’ve got to love college football!”

Spring Wash Tour & Dinner

Spring Meeting Features Tour, Communications Consultant Skip Weisman

The New York State Car Wash Association (NYSCWA) held its Spring Membership Meeting on June 1 here with a visit to the Hudson River Valley to tour some exceptional washes, strengthen communication skills and enjoy authentic barbecue and Cajun-style cuisine at Ole Savannah Southern Table & Bar in the city’s historic Rondout Landing.

With a full bus, compliments of Micrologic Associates, two outstanding washes were toured on a picture-perfect, albeit steamy 90-degree day. At the first stop the group enjoyed a tour of Scrub-A-Dub Express, a new site operated by Doug Kleeschulte. The wash, literally  off the New York State Thruway at Exit 19, was for sale for some time as it came with numerous challenges, an odd-shaped lot and COVID construction, but Kleeschulte was able to overcome the odds to create a stunning and busy site. The wash features a 112-foot tunnel and 100-foot conveyor, 12 Vacutech vacs, MacNeil, Motor City, AVW, Petit, InnovateIT and G & G Industrial Lighting equipment, as well as Ver-Tech Labs chemical. read more…
