Penny on the Move with a Car Wash that’s making waves in Blackpool!

Comments: 0

There have been plenty of exciting developments at Penny Petroleum over the years, but this one’s a bit special. Just over a year ago, we introduced our new branding, “Penny on the Move!” and as part of that, we committed to expanding our car wash sites. We’re thrilled to announce that after purchasing two sites, the first one, based in Blackpool, will re-open on 6th February 2025, following significant investment.

The car wash has long been a staple of the local community, with its previous owners serving the area for over 20 years before retiring. Since September, the site has been closed for refurbishment, but it’s now ready to welcome customers once more. When it reopens this week, it will feature a state-of-the-art Tunnel Wash – an automated system that uses a conveyor belt to move your vehicle through a series of cleaning stations for a flawless finish!

This exciting upgrade has been made possible in partnership with Wash Tec, one of the world leaders in car wash technology. The new site will eventually offer a customer lounge with coffee facilities, so you can relax while your car gets the full “Spa Treatment”! The car wash is priced from £5, with mini valets and brand-new self-serve jet washes also available. The service centre also features air for tyres, powerful vacuums, and air fresheners. EVC charging points are also planned for a later development.  What more could you or your car ask for?

The site will be managed by Justin McCafferty, who brings a wealth of experience from the ambulance service and other cleaning roles. Justin commented:

“We want this car wash to be the best on the Fylde coast. With our prime location just off the M55, next to the retail park and a short ride from the seafront, it’s the perfect spot for both locals and visitors. We’ve recruited a fresh, enthusiastic team who can’t wait to welcome old and new customers alike – and make new friends in the process! Plus, if you bring one of our flyers, you’ll get £1 off a car wash and £2 off a valet. We’re definitely worth a visit!”

Founded in Powburn, Northumberland, over 30 years ago, Penny Petroleum has come a long way. From our original forecourt, we now employ over 920 colleagues, own 96 filling stations, a couple of hotels, a farm shop, and, of course, two car wash sites! Not bad for a family-owned business still led by its founder and CEO, David Penny.

So, what’s next for the Blackpool site? While Justin may talk about world domination, we’re more focused on ensuring that lots of happy local customers will be driving away with very clean cars!
