BOOMERANG Carwash® was started by ACS Inc. Founded in 1995 by Paul Stagg, the company is well-known for the development of self-serve carwash facilities; carwash chemical distribution; and carwash-equipment distribution, installation and service. ACS also has been responsible for the development of almost 100 “upscale” carwash facilities.

The company originally built six carwashes under the Rapido Rabbit franchise, but pulled away from the Rapido Rabbit franchise and re-branded two of the washes as Boomerang Carwash®.

In January, 2007, ACS was acquired by Drive Clean® Holding, an investment group from northwest Arkansas led by Mike Bennett and Scott McLain. “We are properly capitalized and have specific expansion plans for the Boomerang Carwash brand,” Bennett explains. “We have our sights set on developing targeted markets in the Southeast and Midwestern United States.”

Currently, more than 90 percent of first-time investors have expanded their washes or have begun additional projects with Drive Clean®.
