_____________________ Hanna was a carwash brand in Oregon ?
Yes, you are absolutely right! Hanna was indeed a carwash brand in Oregon. In fact, it has a rich history within the carwash industry.
Here's a breakdown of what you might find interesting:
Founded by Dan Hanna: In the 1950s, Dan Hanna, Sr. was vacationing
in Mexico and became fascinated by a carwash he saw across the street
from his motel. Upon returning to Oregon, his hometown, he used money
obtained by mortgaging his family's home to open the first "Rub-A-Dub"
carwash in Milwaukie, Oregon. This marked the beginning of Hanna
Enterprises.
Expansion and Innovation: Dan Hanna wasn't just interested in
operating car washes, he was passionate about carwash technology. He
recognized the need for faster and more efficient car washes, so he
began tinkering and inventing. He developed the first mechanized car
washing system, which revolutionized the industry.
Success and Legacy: Following the success of the first Rub-A-Dub carwash, Dan Hanna opened many more locations in the Portland area,
bringing the total to over 31 at the peak. His innovative car wash
equipment also gained recognition, leading to the creation of Hanna Car
Wash Systems International, which not only operated car washes but also manufactured and sold car wash equipment to other businesses.
Today:
Hanna Car Wash Systems International: This company still exists
today, although it no longer has a direct connection to car washes. It
focuses on the manufacturing and sales of car wash equipment. You can
find more information about their history on their website
https://colemanhanna.com/.
Hanna as a Brand: While Hanna car washes may not be as prevalent
today, the brand name still holds historical significance in Oregon and
the carwash industry as a whole. It's a reminder of the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that shaped the carwash business.
