TL;DR
FullSpeed Automotive has signed an agreement for the first Grease Monkey location in Oregon, with three locations projected to open in the state. The first location is projected to open later this year in Salem.
FullSpeed Automotive, home to flagship brands Grease Monkey® , SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service®, and Kwik Kar®, has announced the recently signed agreement of three Grease Monkey locations in Oregon, which will be the first in the state. The first location is projected to open later this year in Salem.
Behind the three-unit Grease Monkey agreement is local businessman Ryan Jennings, who brings more than 20 years of experience to the business. Wanting to broaden his entrepreneurial footprint, Jennings began looking into franchise opportunities. He was immediately drawn to the Grease Monkey.
“When researching the Grease Monkey franchise opportunity, I was immediately impressed by the level of detail put into prioritizing speed, quality, success, and a remarkable experience to every customer, at every visit,” said Jennings. “It’s exciting to be opening the first Grease Monkey location in Oregon. I’ve seen, first-hand, the need for more automotive services in the area, and being an Oregon native has given me unique insight into what many would consider a high-profile market. I’m eager to begin development efforts across Oregon and bring this new service to my community.”
As a local Salem resident, Jennings aims to open all three locations in the greater Salem area. Understanding and being fully integrated into the community, Jennings was able to identify vast whitespace to begin development in the state. Between owning several rental properties, a wine shop, and a law firm, Jennings has the experience and knowledge to continue serving the Salem community.
