Construction on the new Tommy’s Express Car Wash in Big Rapids is starting to take shape.

As of Wednesday, April 8, structural beams were being placed at the site on 1250 Perry Avenue. Initial reports and speculation indicate the car wash is expected to open later this summer.

"As soon as the site's Facebook page is available, they will begin posting the most recent updates there," said a Tommy's guest services respondent.

The 5,303-square-foot facility was approved by the Big Rapids Planning Commission in May 2025. Gen 3 Investments, a Big Rapids-based developer, is handling the project.
