Overview | Meet the executive team.
They say that knowledge gives you the confidence and enthusiasm to do whatever you want to do and do it well. All these ingredients have resulted in an enterprise that the Arnett's could only dream of in 1987, when they founded Carnett's Car Washes in Atlanta, Georgia.
Carnett's has enjoyed exciting growth and progress:
Bruce Arnett Sr. had been involved in the car wash business 10 years prior to establishing Carnett's, first as an investor, and then as an active partner. He came to the industry with an extensive background in electronics, mechanics and computers.
Bruce Arnett, Jr. joined the new family venture right out of college and helped with the construction of the first store. Brett Arnett came to work for Carnett's in 1988. Dee Arnett, co-founder, first assumed responsibility as CFO and now is the Director of Marketing for the corporate and franchise divisions.
Over the years, additional family members have joined the company. Elaine Arnett has administrative responsibility within the company and Brandon Arnett joined Carnett's in 1999 after 8 years aboard an atomic submarine, where he managed and maintained electrical systems.
Carnett's Car Washes is now an enterprise of several car wash franchise outlets across Georgia and growing! Approved to operate in all 50 states, Carnett's is currently accepting individuals for car wash ownerships. Learn more about Carnett's franchising >>
Another success story: ACESWhile building the Duluth Highway facility, entrepreneurial Bruce Jr. started to develop his contacts with equipment and chemical manufacturers, intent on starting a car wash equipment and supply company. From there, American Car Wash and Equipment and Supply Company (ACES) was born. New corporate and franchise offices and a warehouse were built to house the growing company.
Bruce Jr. has built ACES into a company that supplies car wash equipment, chemicals, service and parts. In just 4 years, ACES has become the largest company of its kind in Georgia. ACES sells its services to company, non-company and franchise stores. ACES service and delivery trucks are on call 24 hours a day to service its customers.
