Take 5 Car Wash has named Tim Austin as its newest president, according to a recent press release.

Austin will be departing from his role at retail hearing healthcare company Lucid Hearing, where he served as president and COO and helped the company expand to more than 500 worldwide locations.

First beginning his career with Walmart, Austin advanced through many different field operations roles and executive positions, such as regional vice president for the Southwest, Plains, and California regions. He went on to work in several executive-level roles at Sears Holdings, leading store operations for more than 900 locations as SVP of retail services before joining Lucid Hearing.

Upon taking the role of president at Take 5 Car Wash, Austin will be relieving Danny Rivera, Driven Brands’ EVP and chief operating officer, who was serving in the position on an interim basis. 

“Tim is a proven multi-unit leader with more than three decades of success at some of the world's most respected retailers,” said Rivera. “His track record of delivering results by focusing on people, execution, and growth will help position Take 5 Car Wash for future success.”
