By Amit Chowdhry • Jun 30, 2026

Bubble Down Car Wash announced a partnership with Strategic Capital, an investment strategy within BTG Pactual Global Alternatives.

As part of the transaction, Strategic Capital has committed $200 million in growth capital to support Bubble Down Car Wash’s expansion across Florida and the Southeast.

The investment will provide Bubble Down with resources to fund new site development, strategic acquisitions, and continued investment in technology, people, and infrastructure.

Founded and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Bubble Down Car Wash is an express car wash operator with eight locations throughout the Tampa Bay region.

The company also has numerous additional sites under development. Bubble Down is known for its facilities, wash quality, and customer-first approach.

With Strategic Capital’s backing, Bubble Down is positioned to become a leading consolidator of express car washes across Florida and the Southeast.

The company plans to pursue growth while maintaining its focus on operational excellence, community engagement, and customer experience.

KEY QUOTES:

“When we started Bubble Down, we weren’t interested in building another car wash company. We set out to build something exceptional — a business that would stand the test of time, and one that our team members, customers, families, and communities could be proud of for generations.”

“Anyone who has visited a Bubble Down location understands the difference. Nothing about Bubble Down is accidental. From site selection, design, and engineering to the customer experience and wash quality, every decision has been deliberate and intentional. We obsess over the details because quality matters, and we believe people recognize and appreciate when something is built with genuine care and intention. This partnership with Strat Cap allows us to expand that vision while staying true to the values and standards that have defined Bubble Down from day one.”

Bryan Zinober, Founder and CEO of Bubble Down Car Wash

“Bubble Down has built a strong asset base with a clear focus on operational excellence, customer experience, and disciplined expansion. We are excited to partner with Bryan and his team to provide capital to support the Company’s long-term, sustainable growth.”

James Frank, Head of Strat Cap at BTG Pactual Global Alternatives
