In February of last year, it was announced that Shammy’s was coming to Maine.

They announced plans that included 2 new car washes in the Bangor Brewer area.

And in October construction began at the Bangor location on Stillwater Avenue near Bangor Mall.

And now, the race is on

Construction was started in Bangor before the Brewer location, which is next to Ruby Tuesday on Wilson Street, across from Down East Toyota.

But before all the snow, you could see some progress at both locations.

Construction photo fans, here you go

First Bangor has the foundation done and here is the first sign of a building being built.

Since construction began in October and co owner of Shammy’s Car Wash Jon Young told us from start to finish takes about 6 months for the process, it looks like a March or April opening for the Bangor location

The co-owner of Shammy’s, Jon Young is a Mainer. He was born in Bangor. He lived in Old Town as a baby until his parents, and therefore he, moved to Texas in 1979.

But he still has a love for Maine, and his family has a home on Pushaw Lake.

And he stills thinks of himself as a Mainer.
