Re: Tommy's Express Car Wash - Multiple metro locations
I am not really joking, but I think they only build one at a time in the area. As long as it has taken for the North Streams location has stopped up the plumbing. They do have actual opening soon flags for that location up this week.Brad wrote: Sat Mar 29, 2025 12:05 pmDoes anyone know what the holdup with the 84th and Center location is?

This location actually made it to an opening. On Friday ( 5/16), when I drove by on my way home from work, they had signs up saying OPEN and FREE WASH. On Thursday, there were still a lot of contractor vehicles around it.nebugeater wrote: Tue Oct 29, 2024 8:13 am The Tommy's being built at the North Streams (Hwy 6 & Q) development has seemed to be on pause. Other than contractors there for a couple of days about ten days ago, I am guessing I have not seen any activity for six weeks. I drive by daily, and it has become a check-in point for me to watch progress after it seemed like progress had stopped.
I heard rumors that there was an issue getting steel, and that is what looks like it will be next. That being said, with all the other construction going on everywhere, there doesn't seem to be a trend in the lack of steel.

I can't recall which carwash, but the coming soon sign has been there for a couple years as well. South of Costco in La Vista.
