We could not be more pleased that he is joining Mammoth’s board of directors and has invested in Mammoth.” Dennis added, “The brand and digital transformation he oversaw at Dunkin’ [Brands] was remarkable, and we are excited to have someone of his caliber advising us on Mammoth’s growth and investment strategy.”

Marcus Kittrell, Mammoth’s executive vice president, commented, “Dave [Hoffmann] has led big brands with thousands of units driven by owner-operators of all sizes.”  Kittrell continued, “He gets that our operator-focus is a key part of what makes Mammoth special and will help us take our store operations to a whole new level of excellence in the coming years.”

Dave Hoffmann stated, “I’m excited to be joining such a talented team of entrepreneurs, and I look forward to working with the leadership team to accelerate growth and scale in the US. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with operators across the US and the globe, and I’m thrilled to partner with Mammoth as we build on the unique DNA of its owner-operator led business model. I’ve been tracking Mammoth’s progress for some time now, and I believe in the huge potential ahead of us.”

Mammoth is the first car wash acquisition platform formed by industry-insiders and is the 7th largest conveyor car wash operator in the United States according to Commercial Plus’s Top 100 list.  Mammoth is customer-focused operationally and operator-focused in its approach to acquisitions and seeks to be the partner-of-choice for car wash operators who desire liquidity, growth capital, and a tax-deferred equity investment opportunity.  Mammoth’s multi-brand portfolio includes Marc-1, Wash Me Fast, Swifty, Ultra, Finish Line, Wiggy Wash, Shine On, Pit Stop, Lulu’s, Ollie’s, and now PureMagic, among others.  Mammoth has significant growth capital at its disposal and is actively seeking acquisitions and development opportunities.
