Waterway Car Wash Corporate Office

In 1970, Henry Dubinsky and a few friends decided to open their own car wash service in St. Louis, Missouri. What began as a single hand car wash location has now grown to 28 full-service and self-service locations in 5 states.

Waterway offers all types of car wash services from quick exterior washes to full-service options with interior vacuuming and floor-mat cleaning.

The company also offers a monthly membership called the Clean Car Club, where clients can get unlimited car washes for the month.

Despite business dropping during the coronavirus, which kept many people at home, Waterway continues to expand, frequently acquiring other car washes.

Experts advise washing your car in summer and winter to avoid problems with road salt and other harsh chemicals, which explains why car wash franchises such as Waterway do so well.

Clarks Shoes Corporate Office

Brothers Cyrus and James Clark began business by making rugs out of sheepskin and wool. James discovered that he could make slippers out of the excess material that needed to be cut off the rugs.

This soon began the shoe business the world would come to know as Clarks.

In the United Kingdom, Clarks has long been a favorite of parents for new shoes for school-aged children. In the 1970s, Clarks saw a huge demand in the USA for shoes that are now called Wallabees. These suede shoes have heavy gum soles, making them quieter than traditional leather.

In the Netflix series Breaking Bad, a school teacher turned drug maker Walter White is frequently seen wearing Wallabees.

Clarks is well-known for making a wide range of comfortable shoes for everyday wear. In May 2023 Shape magazine listed Clarks as one of the best shoes for those suffering from plantar fasciitis.

In November 2022, Clarks recalled some shoe names due to high levels of toxins in the dye used to make the navy blue color.
