ScrubaDub Celebrates 60 Years of Award-Winning Culture and Employee Investment

ScrubaDub's 60-Year Legacy of Employee Engagement and Community Care

As ScrubaDub celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, it looks back not just on decades of service but on the incredible team that has made its success possible. This third-generation family-owned company isn't just a prominent name in the car wash industry; it is a benchmark for workplace culture, consistently recognized for its commitment to investing in employees. With accolades from notable outlets like USA TODAY and The Boston Globe, being named one of the best places to work in multiple years marks a remarkable achievement for a company that shines in an often-overlooked industry.

A Commitment to Employees

ScrubaDub has established itself as a leader with a retention rate well above the industry average at an impressive 71.7%. Management at ScrubaDub is proud to note that over two-thirds of its management team boasts over ten years of service. This speaks volumes about the company’s dedication to developing an environment where employees thrive.

"Our most essential philosophy is to invest in our people, making 'Care Like Family' our foremost core value," said Alex Paisner, Co-Owner and Director of People and Culture. This philosophy reinforces the idea that when team members are treated like family, they reciprocate that care to the customers. The recognition ScrubaDub has received over the years is evidence that this approach truly works.

Investing in the Future

Founded in 1966, ScrubaDub has evolved into one of New England’s top car wash chains while upholding the heartfelt values of a family-run business. Competitive pay and performance incentives are just the starting point for ScrubaDub. The company offers a 401(k) plan with matching contributions and provides financial coaching through its TrustPlus program, helping employees dream big and achieve important milestones in their lives.

To further its commitment to professional growth, ScrubaDub appointed Dr. Sabrina Jacques from Wentworth University to lead its training initiatives. Her extensive background in organizational leadership and workplace culture has propelled the company’s investment in employee training to new heights. In the past two years alone, ScrubaDub has spent over $500,000 on employee training initiatives, including specialized programs aimed at language skills and leadership development for various staff members.

Culture of Giving Back

ScrubaDub’s philosophy isn’t confined to the workspace; it extends into the community as well. The business has a robust program of giving back, working closely with nonprofits like Community Servings and Cradles to Crayons. Over the last ten years, the company has contributed over $350,000 to these organizations and has provided more than $1 million in car wash services as a testament to their commitment to making a positive impact in their community.

Every year, employees from multiple states come together to volunteer and give their time to these organizations, reinforcing the spirit of community that ScrubaDub embodies. For them, philanthropy is ingrained in the culture, and it fuels their drive to give back to the more than 20 communities they serve across New England.

Celebrating Employees

In honor of its anniversary, ScrubaDub plans to hold its annual Culture Week from August 17, featuring a range of activities centered around recognizing the hard work and dedication of its team. The festivities will culminate with a company outing at Canobie Lake Park, providing a day of fun, togetherness, and awards for employees who have gone above and beyond.

As the company looks forward, the sentiment among ScrubaDub’s leaders is that the greatest achievement lies not in the number of cars washed but in the enduring relationships built along the way—relationships that transform coworkers into family members. For ScrubaDub, its legacy is firmly rooted in its people, and it's this foundation that will continue driving its success for years to come.
