We came up through operations
Wash Launch Group is a car wash development, acquisitions, and equipment distribution firm based in Charlotte, NC. We work with operators, investors, developers, brokers, and capital partners across the Southeast and growth markets nationwide.
Why WLG exists
Our founder started Wash Launch Group in January 2026 because the same problems kept showing up. Investors were making decisions off bad data. Operators were buying equipment from people who had never run a tunnel. Deals were falling apart because nobody in the room had actually opened a wash before.
What makes us different
Our founder spent 18 years on the operations side, at Autobell, Sam's Xpress, Fins Car Wash and Links Car Wash, before moving into development, acquisitions and advisory. Our team has managed sites at 6am, rebuilt tunnels at midnight, negotiated seven-figure acquisitions and run multi-site portfolios.
When we look at a site, we're not just running a model. We're thinking about stacking, traffic flow, how the tunnel drains in a storm, where the vac islands go, and whether the membership math actually works once you factor in churn.
Where we work
Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, we are active across the Southeast (the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia), with growth-market work in Texas and beyond when the deal warrants travel.
Team
Every engagement is led by Anthony Warren.
