Grease Monkey Gears Up for Westward Expansion, Marking Growth In 4 States

Greenwood Village, Colo. – Grease Monkey®, automotive aftermarket repair facility and flagship brand of FullSpeed Automotive®, announces plans to develop and open new locations in several cities throughout Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah over the next three years.

Behind the brand’s expansion is Grease Monkey multi-unit franchisee, Tyson Daniels. Growing up in Salt Lake City, Daniels got his first job in the quick lube industry when he was just 16 years old and worked his way up to the role of Store Manager. After years of experience in the industry, Daniels brought over his wealth of knowledge and joined the Grease Monkey team to build his own profitable business. He currently has 11 Grease Monkey locations open in four different states. 

“I’m thrilled to be spearheading Grease Monkey’s expansion into several cities throughout the Western United States,” said Daniels. “The states we're targeting for expansion present tremendous growth opportunities and a strong demand for products and services offered at Grease Monkey. We look forward to serving new communities, meeting their automotive repair needs, and providing the exceptional service and high standards that our customers expect and deserve.”

This expansion sets Daniels up on a three-year track to open an additional nine Grease Monkey locations in the Western United States. The first facility in this expansion is already open and operating in Las Vegas, Nevada. The second planned facility in this expansion will open later this year in Aurora, Colorado. The brand has identified Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah as prime areas for growth due to the growing demand for automotive products and services, as well as the favorable business environment, and continues to seek out other development opportunities in these four states.

Grease Monkey is looking to bring on qualified and engaged individuals seeking single, multi-unit, and conversion opportunities. When franchisees invest with Grease Monkey, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and proven business models backed with a combined 85+ years of experience in providing quality car care in the industry.
