Links Car Wash, backed by Back Nine Equity, has entered into an agreement to acquire Woodie’s Wash Shack in a 26-site transaction.
The deal combines the two operators into a 50-site express car wash platform spanning Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. The combined operating company will move forward under the Woodie’s Wash Shack consumer brand, while Links founder Ryan Hanks will lead the expanded business.
This transaction stands out not only for its size, but for its structure. By pairing Links’ operating platform with Woodie’s established brand identity, the deal reflects how car wash platforms are thinking about scale, regional density, and brand equity in high-growth Sunbelt markets.
