A ModWash car wash is taking shape on Kathleen Road

Where it is. On Kathleen Road in the Kathleen corridor, under 100 feet from McDonald's and about 0.2 miles from Subway at Town&country Square. Distance measured from map data, October 2026.

Two of the places within a quarter mile, nearest first; the nearest large store is kept when there is one. Straight-line distance between the mapped points. Restaurant locations geocoded from the Florida DBPR active food-service licence file, read Oct 15, 2026.

The ModWash Express car wash at 3170 Kathleen Road has worked through building, sign, and equipment permits and is being wired up.

Permit records at 3170 Kathleen Road are tied to MODWASH LLC and a string of work that reads like a car wash being built out: a trash-compactor enclosure, a drive-thru canopy, a foundation for vacuum booms, and a full set of ModWash signs, including a pylon sign, stacked and linear wall sets, water-drop logos, and canopy vinyls.

Most of the construction and sign permits have been finaled, and the most recent permit, issued in April 2026, covers a low-voltage installation handled by Surveillance Concepts. Taken together, the records show the site moving from structure and signage into its finishing systems.

The records don't state an opening date or describe the business beyond what the permits show.

What happens next

The remaining low-voltage work would need to be inspected and finaled. The records give no opening date.
