Toronto, Ontario — CARSTAR Canada has announced that it is celebrating its 30th year of Canadian business.
CARSTAR Canada was first brought to Canada in 1994 with the opening of its first business in Hamilton, Ontario.
“CARSTAR has become an institution across the country because it’s core is rooted in community and we are committed to our Canadian franchise partners, employees and industry partners,” says Michael Macaluso, EVP and PC&G Group President, Driven Brands. “Born, raised and living in Hamilton, Ontario, I’m so proud of our iconic brand and what it stands for and we’re committed to making it better in the over 350 communities that we serve across our great country.”
Dave Foster, Vice President of Network Promotion and Development, CARSTAR Canada said “this remarkable achievement means the world to our network, and we know that we would not have been able to make it to this milestone without the hard work of our tremendous franchise partners and support of our valued industry partners, customers and communities we serve. We are looking forward to celebrating throughout this year and are ready to continue bettering this brand to serve our customers for the next 30+ years!”
The press release also noted that CARSTAR Canada has celebrated many milestones over the years, including its most recent achievement of surpassing $5 million raised for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) research, advocacy and care.
“I’ve been a part of this brand for over 20 years now and seeing where we started to where we are now is truly amazing,” said Dave Meery, Zone Director, CARSTAR Canada.
“It’s the franchise partners who humbly work day in and day out that motivate me. They put an incredible amount of work into helping customers during their time of need, while simultaneously trying to stay ahead in an ever-changing industry. It has been rewarding to have been a part of this journey and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish next.”
CARSTAR Canada will be commemorating its anniversary throughout 2024 with special campaigns, consumer contests and at various local events, including the annual CARSTAR conference taking place in Victoria, British Columbia on July 9 to 11.
