AquaShine Express Car Wash, with its official ribbon-cutting on Friday, June 5, 2026, is excited to welcome drivers to its new Englewood location. The team isn’t just here to clean cars; they’re stepping up to support the community, form local partnerships, and give back whenever they can. For AquaShine, strong businesses grow from strong neighborhood connections, and they’re ready to be here for Englewood’s residents and businesses for the long haul.
Chris Stevens leads operations at AquaShine. He’s spent 19 years in the car wash industry, working across multiple sites and building teams that run smoothly. Stevens has helped expand AquaShine’s reach without sacrificing the quality of the customer experience or the culture among employees.
On the Florida front, District Manager Chris Meli draws on over 15 years of industry know-how. His hands-on leadership and steady focus on customer service have fueled AquaShine’s growth throughout Florida.
The Englewood site is in excellent hands with General Manager James Embalabala, a local resident who brings over a decade of experience in car wash management. James leads the day-to-day operations and works to create a welcoming, community-centered atmosphere for both customers and staff. His connections in Englewood, combined with his operational background, make him an ideal leader for the site.
The company also wants to recognize Field Marketing Manager Kasey Lumpp, who led the grassroots marketing and neighborhood outreach for the grand opening. Since joining in November 2025, Kasey has brought over 20 years of marketing experience and a genuine passion for engaging with local people, which helped turn the opening into a standout event.
This leadership team shows just how committed AquaShine is to top-notch service, investing in its people, and building genuine relationships in every community they enter.
You’ll find AquaShine Express Car Wash at 2625 S. McCall Rd., Englewood, FL.
