Valvoline Instant Oil Change Franchising, Inc. has eight new franchise locations in central Texas, recently acquired by Earl and Brenda McGoldrick, owners of McGoldrick Enterprises, a locally owned and operated business.
All eight former McDos locations will soon display the red, white and blue Valvoline logo. McGoldrick is now one of the largest Valvoline franchisees in Texas with nine locations.
“We are very happy to continue our partnership with the Valvoline Instant Oil Change brand because we believe their support and focus on outstanding service with dependable quality products is the right formula for customer satisfaction,” says McGoldrick. “We’re proud to extend to central Texans the benefits our local customers have come to rely upon.”
Bill Collier, vice president of franchising for Valvoline Instant Oil Change Franchising, Inc., points to the positive trend for the brand and its successful relationship with franchisees and customers.
“Despite a down economy, Valvoline continues to build customer loyalty and business opportunity,” states Collier. “Thus far in 2009, we have grown by 32 franchise locations, the majority of which were competitor acquisitions.”
Today, Valvoline Instant Oil Change has 259 corporate-owned locations and 592 franchise locations. For more information, visit www.ashland.com.
