Four auto-oriented businesses are opening in the Myrtle Beach area.

Last week, The Sun News reported that Mako Express Car Wash is adding two locations in Myrtle Beach and Conway.

The Myrtle Beach area is experiencing rapid development. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that Horry County gained 32,000 residents between April 2020 and July 2022. Myrtle Beach was named the fastest growing place in America for the third year in a row.

The companies could not be reached for comment on expected opening dates.

Take 5 Oil Change will move into a lot on the corner of U.S. Highway 17 Bypass and Palmetto Pointe Boulevard, according to Horry County land records. This site was recently vacated by used car dealer Competition Cars, which moved to 541 Piedmont Ave. in Myrtle Beach.

Take 5 Oil Change already has four locations in the area, including Murrells Inlet and Carolina Forest. The Charlotte-based company offers 10-minute drive-through oil changes.
