Blue Falls Car Wash is the newest player in a well- established family of businesses in Northeast Ohio. It began in 1969 with the first location of its sister company, Conrad’s Tire Express and Total Car Care, in Parma. Today there are 39 Conrad’s locations, and five other sister companies that employ 500 people throughout the region.

What began as a values- driven, local-centric, family-run business, remains so today. Founder Ed Conrad always said his reason for starting growing businesses in Northeast Ohio was “to help feed as many families as possible.”

Ed hired John Turk to manage the growth of the businesses in 1986. Now John’s son Eric is CEO and president, and Ed’s son Bob remains a spokesperson and chairman of the board for the company.
