June 20, 2019

Jiffy Lube franchisee South Bay Lube recently expanded in Florida with the opening of two new service centers. Last month, the entity opened a new 4-bay Jiffy Lube Multicare store in St. Cloud, situated southeast of Orlando. Located at 860 E. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, the new store reflects the brand's expanded business model, which offers brakes, tires and engine diagnostics in addition to the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change.

Additionally, the entity acquired a 4-bay store in Largo, the fourth largest city in the Tampa Bay area. While the new location at 9420 Ulmerton Road is currently open and operating under Jiffy Lube Multicare, renovations will continue to take place in the coming weeks. "I'm excited about our growth over the past several years.
