El Car Wash, Florida’s largest express car wash company, announced Sanders' role on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024.
The Lions legend is expected to play a pivotal role in the car wash’s expansion across the state.
El Car Wash opened its first Michigan location in Brighton earlier this year and opened its second location in Madison Heights at 14 Mile Road and Stephenson Highway last week.
The Miami-based company has donated over $350,000 to various organizations over the past three years, frequently partnering with schools, hospitals, first responders, and charitable organizations.
They also focus on providing employment opportunities for all, with specialty hiring programs for neurodivergent individuals and veterans, which they plan to replicate at their new Michigan locations.
