Ziebart, the worldwide leader in premium
automotive appearance and protection services, has propelled its way into the
new year announcing three new deals to expand its services to new markets
across the country. The 65-year-old company will soon be assisting vehicle
owners in Washington, PA, Ruskin, FL, as well as in Phoenix, AZ, tightening its
grip as the leader in rustproofing and auto detailing services.
The Washington, PA location is being opened by the
entrepreneurial brother duo Nick and Mark Lambie, who have previously opened a
Ziebart location in their hometown of Morgantown, WV. Nick Lambie, a former
U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant, first opened the Morgantown store with his
brother in 2019. Following their success at home, the two are expanding their
services an hour north on I-79 to Washington to service an entire new market’s
worth of vehicles with their expertise.
“This is an exciting opportunity for us and for Ziebart
overall. The average household in Washington has two cars, which is above the
national average, and we know people want to take care of them the right way,
so we’re here to help,” said Nick Lambie. “My brother and I are thrilled to
expand our family business into a new community that will benefit from the
trusted services we provide.”
In Florida, Ziebart’s new shop in Ruskin marks a milestone
as the brand breaks into the Tampa market for the first time. Set to introduce Ziebart’s
services to the Ruskin community are local entrepreneurs and couple Raymond and
Wysteria Austin. Wysteria is a nurse and Raymond is a veteran in the automotive
industry, spending time with GMC before deciding to own a business together to
help care for vehicles in their community.
The Phoenix location will also mark the first Ziebart store
in the Valley of the Sun. At the helm of the deal is the veteran franchising
group, DEF Protect Corp., who aim to protect vehicles from the harsh sun and
desert wind that puts vehicles at risk for shorter lifespans in Arizona.
Thomas A. Wolfe, President and CEO of Ziebart International
Corporation, said these new deals are important pieces to help the brand expand
its footprint domestically. Between multi-unit franchisee operators for Ziebart
and first-time business owners, Wolfe trusts the brand will find success in
these populous markets.
“As demand for automotive aftercare services continues to
skyrocket, Ziebart will continue to award agreements to those looking to add
our 65-year-old expertise to liven the vehicles in these distinct communities,”
Wolfe said. “We’re thrilled to continue
to bring more communities complete vehicle protection solutions from coast to
coast and beyond.”
