## Story

Tommy’s Express Car Wash is proud to welcome the community to the grand opening of its first location in Hickory, North Carolina. Guests can expect food, fun, and a chance to win prizes beginning Thursday, May 22, through Saturday, May 24.

The owners of this location are reaffirming their commitment to the community by partnering with Safe Harbor, a Christ-centered organization dedicated to helping women rebuild, renew, and recover. All raffle proceeds will be donated to this non-profit. Half of the money earned from washes on Saturday, May 24, will go to Viewmont Elementary School to support student education.

Conrad, the Hickey Crawdads mascot, is scheduled to be on location as well to meet and greet with guests.
