At the Argos petrol station on the Scherpenzeelseweg in Barneveld, entrepreneur Sven van Ginkel has decided to rent out his car wash At The Carwash Company to a former employee. By doing so, van Ginkel hopes to be able to focus more on the car wash boxes and electric charging at the station. This reports Business in Barneveld.

The decision to rent out the car wash at the Argos petrol station was well-considered. Besides the Barneveld branch, owner Van Ginkel also operates wash bays in Ede, Nijkerk and Apeldoorn under the name Comfort Carwash. He told the business magazine that, in his opinion, these locations meant there was insufficient focus on the car wash in Barneveld. He therefore decided to transfer this section to a former employee. Meanwhile, the name of the car wash in Barneveld has been changed. It will now continue under the name Loepzuiver. Van Ginkel says this gives him more time to devote to the wash bays and new developments.

He therefore wants to further develop Comfort Carwash. The location in Barneveld has eight wash bays and in Apeldoorn he wants to expand from ten to sixteen. He also continues to look for new locations in the region.

Charging point

Van Ginkel opened the petrol station and car wash in 2010. At the filling station, customers can get Euro 95, Euro 98, diesel, HVO100, AdBlue, CNG and LPG. There is also a charging station with four fast chargers. This year, a charging point for trucks up to 16 metres will also be realised. There will be a 400-kW fast charger.
