Crew Car Wash, once known as Mike’s Car Wash locally before re-branding the company name in 2014, is building a new headquarters building in the area of I-69 & 116th Street in Fishers. The City of Fishers and Crew released a joint announcement Friday morning.
Crew’s corporate headquarter is currently located in Fishers, on Hague Road, between 106th and 96th Streets.
“We look forward to working with the City on this exciting opportunity to provide a more convenient way for Fishers residents to experience our clean, fast and friendly service,” said Sally Grant, Crew’s Executive Vice President and third generation leader of Crew’s family business, in a city news release. “We have been happy to call Fishers home for the past 15 years and are equally excited about potentially building a brand new Corporate Office and Training Center for all our team members who serve our internal and external customers every day.”
Crew Car Wash says it has plans to buy five acres from Sunbeam Development Corporation to build its corporate headquarters and a state-of-the-art car wash. Crew Car Wash intends to use this new location to establish new research and development facilities and training programs.
Both the new corporate headquarters and new car wash will be located along Exit 5 Parkway, just north of 116thStreet behind the new Riverview Hospital and next to Top Golf. The project will be presented at April’s City Council meeting Monday.
The City is offering $1.72 million in incentives to Fishers City Council approval. The package includes a 10-year, 100% real property tax abatement and impact fee waiver for the headquarters building. If approved, the project will be presented at May’s Plan Commission meeting for approval.
“Crew Carwash is a Fishers institution, calling Fishers its home since 2004,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “Working alongside them to not only identify a location that meets the vision of the City, but a permanent home for them in Fishers, demonstrates our commitment to supporting local businesses which value our smart, vibrant, and entrepreneurial business environment.”
The new Fishers Crew Car Wash is scheduled to open in 2020 with the headquarters building to be completed by 2022.
It is great to see that the city is really trying to work with Crew and to work with a local business. After all the hubbub of not doing a zoning change, it seems there was more to the story….
The one question I have is…. How does the city see us recouping the $1.72 million in incentives? How will the tax payers see a return on this investment?
