This growing development in a busy area of Lexington is getting a new business
If you are looking to give your car a bit of shine you’ll soon be in luck in a growing area of Lexington County.
A new Tidal Wave Auto Spa car wash is being planned at the growing Platt Springs Crossing mixed-use development in the Red Bank area of Lexington, according to Lexington County Planning Commission documents. The Tidal Wave facility is listed as a project in the commercial activity section of the planning commission’s April 16 agenda paperwork.
County property records show the land where the car wash would go is along Platt Springs Road in the Platt Springs Crossing development, not far from a Whataburger restaurant.
Tidal Wave Auto Spa has car wash locations across the U.S., including Midlands locations on Forum Drive, Fernandina Road and Roberts Branch Parkway in Columbia.
Platt Springs Crossing is a 60-acre, $65 million mixed-use project that is being developed off Platt Springs Road near South Lake Drive. Businesses that already are operating at the site include a Lowes Foods supermarket, a Panda Express Chinese restaurant, the aforementioned Whataburger, a Chipotle, a Big Blue Marble Academy early childhood center and a Prisma Health urgent care facility. A new Planet Fitness gym also is being prepped at the site.
Developers have announced that Tropical Smoothie and Venus Nails have signed leases to be a part of the development, and Lexington County public records have shown a LongHorn Steakhouse is being planned there. Also, there are 142 townhomes planned on the northeast end of the property.
The Red Bank area in south central Lexington County has boomed with growth in recent years with new subdivisions, schools, businesses and more. About 18,500 cars per day travel down Platt Springs Road near the Platt Springs Crossing development, per state Department of Transportation data, while more than 27,000 cars per day traverse South Lake Drive nearby.
