Kerry Chipman, owner of WaterWorks Express, joined the car wash industry in 1988 when he opened a Super Wash franchise in Orem, Utah. He worked hard to understand the mechanics and prided himself on all equipment running smoothly.
With a coke in hand, he enjoyed getting to know regular customers and made many friends. A few years later, he left the franchise and bought two additional self-serve car washes in Northern Utah. One of these car washes was Jax Car Wash in West Jordan located on the property of now WaterWorks Express.
