Sota Shine Express Car Wash in Brooklyn Park, MN opens a World-Record Breaking car wash that includes an all-indoor vacuum area!

BROOKLYN PARK, MN, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Minnesota-based car wash company Sota Shine is proud to announce its newest location, Sota Shine – One-Six-Nine, at the intersection of Highway 169 and 109th Ave N in Brooklyn Park, MN.

After opening the first location in Waconia in 2022, Sota Shine showed its penchant for innovation by opening the next location in Maple Grove with a car wash and self-serve dog wash under the same roof. Two businesses, Sota Shine and Sota Pup, working together to provide customers with an all-in-one experience. That flair for innovation continues with Sota Shine One-Six-Nine’s record-breaking size and indoor vacuums.
World’s Longest Car Wash and Indoor Vacuums

Sota Shine – One-Six-Nine features the world’s longest car wash tunnel at over 300 feet, surpassing the record of 255 feet previously held by Buc-ee’s in Katy, Texas. With a national average of 120 feet, Sota Shine One-Six-Nine is over double the length of what customers have seen at other area washes. The state-of-the-art facility also introduces the Twin Cities’ first all-indoor vacuum area, complete with 32 vacuum bays, detailing carts, and floor mat cleaning stations — allowing customers to clean their cars comfortably in any weather.

“We’re incredibly excited about this project,” said Nick Netley, founder of Sota Shine. “Sota Shine – One-Six-Nine is almost 35,000 square feet, which is about 5 times the size of the average car wash. Besides size, it brings something completely new to the Twin Cities — the ability for customers to wash and clean their cars indoors, no matter what the Minnesota weather looks like.”

Project Partners
Sota Shine – One-Six-Nine has been financed by local lender EntreBank. Frana Companies served as the General Contractor for both the Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove locations. Frana has been an integral partner throughout pre-construction and design phases, consistently helping maintain project budgets while still delivering a product of the highest quality.
