CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Take 5 Oil Change, a leading provider of fast, friendly, and simple car maintenance, celebrated a major milestone yesterday: surpassing 500 franchise locations earlier in 2025. The Dec. 9 event in Philadelphia also marked the brand’s debut in the city, reinforcing its commitment to delivering convenient, high-quality car care to new markets while continuing rapid expansion across North America.
The celebration at one of Take 5’s newest franchise shops in Philadelphia highlights the brand’s strategic growth in the Northeast. In this region, Take 5 has more than doubled its footprint in just two years, signaling strong demand and rapid adoption of its stay-in-your-car oil change model.
“Crossing the 500-franchise shop milestone earlier this year is a testament to the trust customers place in our brand and the dedication of our franchise partners,” said Tim Austin, President of Take 5 Oil Change. “Our model continues to meet the needs of today’s drivers while creating scalable, profitable opportunities for franchise owners.”
Take 5 entered 2025 with strong momentum, building on a landmark year of growth. After surpassing 400 franchise locations and expanding into new markets in 2024, the brand has grown its franchise footprint by more than 110% in three years.
Take 5’s rapid growth has earned consistent industry recognition, ranking #27 on Entrepreneur’s 2025 Fastest-Growing Franchises list and #101 on Entrepreneur’s 2025 Franchise 500, highlighting the strength and long-term viability of its franchise system.
“The brand’s expansion beyond 500 franchise shops is fueled by franchise owners and their teams who provide genuine, reliable service at every bay,” said Eric Wollenhaupt, Senior Vice President of Franchise Operations at Take 5 Oil Change. “This milestone reflects not only scale, but the strength of our people-first culture that keeps customers coming back.”
As part of the celebration in Philadelphia, Take 5 hosted an “Oil for Oil” charitable event on Dec. 9, inviting community members to donate sealed bottles of cooking oil — one of the most needed items at local food banks — to Philabundance, a nonprofit food bank serving southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. Donors received 50% off an oil change and the Take 5 Oil Change Foundation contributed an additional $5,000 to support Philabundance’s mission to fight hunger.
