D&S Car Wash Supply, a Portfolio Company of Lometa Capital Partners, Acquires Mid-States Car Wash Solutions

HIGH RIDGE, Mo., August 1, 2022 – D&S Car Wash Supply (“D&S”), a portfolio company of Lometa Capital Partners, has acquired Mid-States Car Wash Solutions (“Mid-States”).

Headquartered in Scott City, MO, Mid-States was the exclusive distributor of D&S’s brand-recognized, high-performance car wash systems including in-bay automatic, self-serve, and truck wash products, in the Mid-South region including parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois. In addition to selling equipment, Mid-States has provided its customers with the day-to-day service required to keep a top-tier car wash in excellent working condition including new equipment install, maintenance, chemical supply, and business advice for over 29 years. Mid-States customers included neighborhood car washes, regional c-store chains, and commercial businesses, among others.

Mid-States will extend the reach of D&S’s direct sales arm, D&S Field Sales & Service (“FSS”), further south while maintaining a continuous territory stretching from the St. Louis area.

Tim Huntington, CEO of D&S, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Dave Bogenpohl and Mid-States into the D&S family to help supercharge our growth and achieve our revenue diversification goals.”

Dave Bogenpohl, the former owner of Mid-States and incoming Regional Business Development Manager at FSS, remarked, “As part of D&S, Mid-States’ customers will continue to receive the quality care they have come to expect, but also benefit from the expanded service profile inherent in a larger organization. It is a true win-win scenario for the end-customer, D&S, and Mid-States.”
