Foamworks hopes to suds up in Alpharetta

Foamworks Alpharetta is in the process of asking Alpharetta for a conditional use permit to operate a car wash in a 4,987-square-foot building formerly used by Autobell Car Wash at 11725 Cotton Creek.

The Alpharetta City Council was prepared to hold a public hearing on the request at their Jan. 17 meeting, but Foamworks asked for a delay while they make some final revisions to the plan based on feedback from the city.

Foamworks Auto Spa is a full-service, automatic car wash. Exterior detailing is done by employees in the preparation canopy and in the car wash tunnel. The customer remains in the vehicle as the car goes through the automatic car wash. Interior detailing is completed by the customer at the auto detailing stations. According to their website, Foamworks currently operates five locations in Georgia.
