Whistle Express is a US chain of express car washes offering tunnel washes, monthly unlimited wash memberships, a mobile app and free self-service detail vacuums at each site. It was founded in 2014 as Magnolia Wash Holdings by Frank Bennett and Brooks Moye, who combined existing express wash brands, and now runs locations across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma and other states. It hires site team members, shift leads, site and assistant site managers and maintenance technicians, along with corporate accountants, pricing analysts, systems engineers and instructional designers.
This is your site. Run it like it matters - because it does.

The Site Manager role at Whistle Express is where ownership becomes real. You are the leader of the site - the person responsible for the people, the guest experience, the equipment, the standards, and the results. You are not just keeping the wash open. You are building a team, running a business, and creating a place guests and employees want to come back to.

This role sits between the Assistant Site Manager and the Market Director. You will develop the leaders below you, partner with the Market Director above you, and make sure the site performs every day - not just when someone is watching.

WhatWe’reLooking For
