‘Soapy disco’ for your ride
A Winnipeg car wash, Flamingo Express Car Wash, has opened in East Winnipeg, offering an automatic wash and human assistance for customers. Co-owned by 42-year-old Kyle Thompson, the business was born from a high school business plan he developed while working at Chamois Car Wash and Detail Centre. Flamingo opened last month, replacing the full-service car wash model with a 45-meter-long wash tunnel and outdoor stalls for interior cleaning.
The business is named after a local bird and decorated with tropical colors, creating a "soapy disco" atmosphere. Flamingo also supports local charitable initiatives and employs 17 people.
