COLUMBIA — A new car wash is coming to Gervais Street on the edge of Five Points, the latest growth example in the category.

Time to Shine Car Wash will build its newest location at 2006 Gervais St., according to an announcement from Trinity Partners commercial real estate, which handled the transaction.

The 1.88-acre site along Gervais for the carwash, across from the Station at Five Points student housing complex, was purchased for $1.6 million, with Williams Mills of Trinity handling the transaction for the buyer. 

“Time to Shine Car Washes are known for their very nice facilities, and this new addition to Gervais Street will certainly add some much-needed color to the corridor,” Mills said.

It also will be adjacent to one of Columbia’s long-running car washes, Constan. 

No opening date for the location was announced.

Tommy’s Express Car Wash has opened a large location at 4700 Devine St., a large facility that replaces buildings that were damaged by the 2015 flood of Gills Creek and later demolished.

Big Dan’s Car Wash has launched construction on a location at 1027 Elmwood Ave., near its intersection with Assembly Street. A convenience store was removed to make space.

Sparkle Express Car Wash has an automated car wash under construction in the 9600 block of Two Notch Road. Sparkle operates five car washes, both automated and hand-dry sites, in the Midlands.
