The acquisition of the Islands Car Wash locations include car washes in Bluffton, Hilton Head Island and Okatie.

In 2022, ZIPS has expanded in the state and moved into new areas with record growth through the acquisition of three Detrick’s Car Wash and five Turbo Jet Express Car Wash locations in the Myrtle Beach market, and now four Islands Car Wash locations in the Hilton Head market.
