Utah-based Tagg-N-Go Car Wash recently completed a sizeable expansion into neighboring Idaho with the purchase of two car wash brands covering a total of seven sites.
Tagg-N-Go, the largest privately owned car wash chain in Utah, announced the official acquisition of Rubber Ducky Car Wash (four sites) and Snake River Car Wash (three sites), all located across Southeast Idaho.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The newly acquired locations will now operate under the Tagg-N-Go brand, bringing enhanced wash experiences, upgraded equipment, and convenient, quality service to thousands of new customers.
“This acquisition marks an exciting milestone as we grow our footprint further into Idaho,” Quinn Allgood, co-founder of Tagg-N-Go, said in a statement.
“We’re honored to serve these new communities and deliver the same people-first experience our guests have come to love.”
Tagg-N-Go, which currently operates more than 20 sites across Utah, Nevada and Idaho, will now feature 10 locations in Southeast Idaho following the acquisition.
In the coming weeks, the newly acquired sites will be undergoing remodeling, which will include:
- Upgraded Equipment and Experience – This includes new vacuums, the addition n of enhanced wash technology, and a smoother guest experience.
- Temporary Closures – Select locations will close briefly to complete the remodeling and improvement process.
- Expanded Access – Unlimited membership passholders can now wash at 10 locations in Idaho, plus all Tagg-N-Go sites in Utah and Nevada.
To celebrate the transition, Tagg-N-Go will offer free car washes for a limited time at participating Idaho locations after their respective remodels have been completed.
Co-founded in 2016 by Allgood and Conner Atkin in St. George, Utah, Tagg-N-Go Car Wash has grown to serve communities across Idaho, Utah, and Nevada. The brand also partners with the NBA’s Utah Jazz and operate the only fully indoor car wash facility in the Western United States.
In an interview with EastIdahoNews.com, Rubber Ducky founder Matt Cardon said the sale of his car wash has been an ongoing conversation since 2023.
“I think they’re a great group of guys and are going to bring a new energy and some fun changes to the market,” Cardon said. “I’m optimistic for the future.”
