Pennsylvania’s Leading Independent Car-Wash Network Joins Forces with the Car Wash
Association of Pennsylvania (CAP)

Philadelphia, PA — After four years of growth, collaboration, and industry impact, Tri-State Car Wash Network (TSCN)  is officially merging with the 

Car Wash Association of Pennsylvania (CAP)—the state’s longest-running organization dedicated to advocacy, education, and advancement within the car wash sector.

Since its grassroots launch, TSCN has evolved from a small group of owners exchanging ideas over drinks, into an ecosystem representing operators, investors, distributors, and innovators. CAP, founded decades ago as the formal voice of Pennsylvania’s professional car wash community, has championed legislative clarity, ethical standards, and the rights of independent operators. This merger combines the energy and entrepreneurial agility of TSCN with CAP’s institutional strength, creating a unified force for the future of the industry in Pennsylvania.

To mark this inflection point, TSCN will host one final event in collaboration with CAP on
January 27, 2026: INVEST OR DIVEST: Build, Sell or Stand Still

This program will unpack the realities operators are facing today: PE consolidation, membership economics, talent retention, macro and micro pressures, and whether to scale, sell, or reposition your site(s). The event will serve as a ceremonial handoff, symbolizing the transition from a private peer network to a statewide association with broader reach and resources. Following the event, all future networking, educational programming, and advocacy initiatives will run under the CAP banner, enabling deeper access to policy makers, more structured member benefits, and a stronger statewide presence supporting every operator—from first-time owners to multi-site platforms.
