LEXINGTON, Ky. — ZIPS Car Wash is inviting drivers across Central Kentucky to celebrate the completion of renovations at three of its locations with a customer appreciation event featuring free car washes, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, exclusive membership offers, and a Folds of Honor scholarship presentation. Free Washes will be offered Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25.
From July 24-25, guests can receive a complimentary car wash at the following remodeled ZIPS locations:
1250 S. Broadway, Lexington, KY 40504
1776 Sharkey Way, Lexington, KY 40511
104 Osborne Way, Georgetown, KY 40324
The remodeled sites feature refreshed exteriors, upgraded customer areas, and operational improvements designed to make every visit faster, more convenient, and more enjoyable. The investment reflects ZIPS Car Wash's continued commitment to enhancing the customer experience while delivering the high-quality express wash service drivers have come to expect.
As part of the celebration, new and current ZIPS Unlimited® members can take advantage of a special, limited-time promotion by adding a family vehicle to their membership at no cost. The offer is available only during the July 24–25 event, and customers should speak with an on-site team member for details.
"This Grand Re-opening is our way of thanking customers for their continued support with the hope that they will come experience the upgrades on our free wash days," said Doug Miller, Vice President of Marketing for ZIPS Car Wash. "If you've ever considered adding a family member's vehicle to your Unlimited membership, now is the time to take advantage of this limited-time offer."
Ribbon-cutting celebrations will be held at each location to commemorate the renovations. On Thursday, July 23, at 10:00 a.m., a ceremony will take place at the Lexington ZIPS alongside Commerce Lexington at 1250 S. Broadway, Lexington, KY 40504.
The celebration will continue Friday, July 24, at 12:00 p.m. (noon) with a ribbon-cutting alongside the Owensboro Chamber of Commerce at 104 Osborne Way, Georgetown, KY 40324.
Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the 1250 S. Broadway location and as part of its ongoing national partnership with Folds of Honor, ZIPS Car Wash will recognize four local Folds of Honor scholarship recipients from Berea, Kentucky: Eloise Hailey Romine, a second-grade student; Lennon Ray Romine, a rising fifth-grade student; Allen "AJ" Jacob Romine, a rising 10th-grade student and Hunter Nathaniel Romine, a rising 12th-grade student.
The Romine siblings are the children of Specialist Alec Ray Romine, who served more than six years in the U.S. Army as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Specialist and Infantryman. During his military service, he deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, was disabled in the line of duty, and was awarded the Purple Heart for his service and sacrifice.
On Friday, July 24, during the ribbon-cutting celebration at the Georgetown location, ZIPS will also recognize Audryana Scarlett Harris of Georgetown with a Folds of Honor scholarship. Audryana is a sophomore at Transylvania University, where she is studying Pre-Law, International Law, and Political Science. She plans to pursue a career practicing international law at the highest levels of government.
Audryana is the daughter of Staff Sgt. Jonathan Keith Harris, who served more than 20 years in the U.S. Army as a Radio and COMSEC Repairer and CBRN Specialist. During his military career, he completed multiple deployments to Iraq and was disabled in the line of duty. Through its partnership with Folds of Honor, ZIPS Car Wash is proud to recognize military families like the Romines and the Harris family while helping support the educational goals of deserving scholarship recipients.
