NORTH PROVIDENCE, RI – The new sign at Anthony Zabatta’s Car Wash King location at 1527 Mineral Spring Avenue stands right out. The sign sports a new logo and name – Irving – which Zabatta says will bring new customers to the gas station he has run for more than 10 years.
Zabatta recently signed on as a new dealer for Irving Oil, the energy refiner and supplier that was founded in 1924. Irving has had a long-term presence in northern New England, but recently expanded into the Rhode Island market.
“This is a busy, friendly, family-run business, and we could not be happier that Anthony is the one who will introduce the Irving name to the North Providence area,” said Harry Hadiaris, General Manager of Irving Oil Marketing, Inc.
Anthony Zabatta runs the business with his wife, Xiomara, and his father Frank. The business employs 10 people. The Car Wash King site not only has the car wash, but also features a full service convenience store, and offers the Rhode Island Lottery, Budget Rent-A-Truck and NFC Express delivery service.
The Car Wash King will also begin offering the popular gas savings program Override on Feb. 27. Customers can earn gas savings by shopping at their local participating Shaw’s Supermarket. They can redeem their savings at the Car Wash King, and other participating Irving locations in Rhode Island. For more information on Override, visit Override.com. Override has saved customers throughout New England more than $10 million since the program began more than a year ago.
“We’re a local business with a great reputation and I was looking for a solid partner that has a commitment to quality products and service. Irving offered all of that to me, and I’m looking forward to a long association with them,” said Zabatta. “With Irving’s competitive pricing and the additional savings that the Override program offers, our customers will be very happy.”
Irving sales representative Tim Winters added that Rhode Island continues to be a strong market for the Irving brand, and he hopes to continue to grow the brand in the Ocean State.
