Mister Car Wash, the largest car wash chain in the U.S., announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, which continue to show growth for the car wash operator.
Among the highlights for the quarter ending June 30 was a 4 percent increase in net revenues, driven by the success of its Unlimited Wash Club membership model, which saw a 5 percent gain.
In addition, comparable store sales were up 1.2 percent, and the company opened four new greenfield locations.
“Fueled by the strength of our UWC subscription model and the solid execution of our teams, we delivered our ninth consecutive quarter of positive comp-store sales growth in the second quarter – even amidst a challenging retail environment,” said John Lai, chairperson, president and CEO of Mister Car Wash.
“Our membership base grew 5 percent year-over-year, underscoring the effectiveness of our model in converting retail traffic into a robust stream of recurring revenue.
“With strong cash flow generation powering reinvestment and innovation, our results through the first half of 2025 reinforce the durability of our strategy and our commitment to delivering long-term value to customers and shareholders alike.”
The membership model has proven especially strong for the company, with UWC revenue accounting for 76 percent of total wash sales, compared to 72 percent in the second quarter of 2024.
As of June 30, Mister Car Wash had 522 locations, an increase of six percent from a year ago (491 sites).
The company’s outlook for the remainder of the year remains a cautious one.
“Within comparable store sales, we assume retail trends in the back half of the year will remain consistent with the negative low double-digit performance we observed in Q2,” said company CFO Jed Gold.
“Breaking that down further, we anticipate total comparable store sales growth to be stronger in Q3 relative to Q4, given the more difficult year-over-year comparison we faced in the fourth quarter.”
