APPLETON, Wis. — A car wash will fill part of the vacant former Shopko building on Northland Avenue in Appleton.
The common council votes Wednesday to approve a conditional use permit for the Zips Car Wash. It’ll accommodate two lanes of traffic, parking and washing equipment in just over half of the 113,111 square feet of the former store’s floor space.
Council member Nate Wolff voted against the proposal due to concerns that there may not be enough business to support the car wash and social responses from constituents.
Council member Denise Fenton voted in favor of granting the permit, despite some misgivings.
The conditional use permit was approved on an 8-4 vote.
