Crew Carwash, in Indianapolis, plans to build a car wash on the corner of 38th And Illinois streets, replacing a CVS store that closed in January.
Katherine Rayner, Crew’s marketing assignment coordinator, said the company hopes to release the assignment until the end of this year, and if everything goes according to plan, it means that car wash will open in the spring of 2021.
“We’re at full speed,” Rayner said of the project. “He’s in a very promising field.”
The assets are at 111 W. 38th St., at the southwest corner of the intersection of 38th and Illinois streets.
Plans presented to the city mean Crew plans to demolish the old pharmacy to do a 5764-square-foot car wash on the 1.28-acre site. The projected structure fee is $1.64 million.
In July, the city’s Metropolitan Development Department voted 7-1 to approve the gaps Crew needed to continue the project. City staff had the request rejected, noting that the city’s comprehensive land use plans a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use village progression for the site.
As a component of a separate project, Crew is modernizing its services at 10764 U.S. 36 in Avon. The company plans to upload an Xpress Interior Clean service to this site. This will be the moment when the chain workshop will offer an internal sealing option, in which workers temporarily seal the inside of a car when moving along a treadmill. Crew introduced the concept in 2018 in Noblesville, near Exit 210 of Interstate 69.
Crew has 34 locations in Indiana and will open its 35th this fall in the city of St. John, northwest of Indiana.
In news this week:
– Greenwood’s Stage to Screen Catered Cabaret in 916 E. Main St. permanently closed due to COVID-19, less than a year later.
Owner Chris Tompkins began dining-theater in a small area in downtown Greenwood in 2018. Last fall, it moved to the 8,500-square-foot Main Street area, which is more than twice the length of the original site.
Tompkins announced the closure of Stage to Screen’s Facebook page on July 31. He said the theater had reconfigured its level and the dominance of the living room to allow social estrangement and had planned to reopen, but price ticket sales were too low.
“At the end of the day: 90% of consumers with tickets chose to wait until spring 2021 to return and 24 tickets for 60 performances were sold,” Tompkins wrote. “This never happened, even at the beginning of the company’s first show.
Without enough cash to cover the expenses, Tompkins said, the theater was forced to close. “Personally it breaks my heart,” he wrote.
