Springfield businessmen buy into car-wash company

Posted online
Springfield-area businessmen J.F. Foster and Brian Templeton have bought ownership in D&S Car Wash Equipment Co. in High Ridge, near St. Louis. D&S, founded in 1974, manufactures and sells automatic car wash equipment and products.

Foster and Templeton have been D&S distributors since 1998 through Supreme Carwash Systems. They also own 13 southwest Missouri car washes through Marshfield-based Hurricane Bay Carwash, and Foster owns Foster’s Appliance and Ken’s Appliance Center in Springfield.

Foster and Templeton, along with St. Louis surgeon Dr. Steve Bander, join Jon Jansky and Larry Qualls as D&S owners. They bought their ownership stake from brothers John and Steve Tlapek for $8 million.
