Jiffy Lube franchise owner South Lubes Inc. has sold its 57 stores in two separate transactions; one with Heartland Automotive Services Inc. and one with CISA Lubes SC.
South Lubes owners, who owned stores in northern Florida and the Carolinas, decided it was the right time to exit the auto sector and pass its businesses to others who have a commitment to the industry.
Heartland Automotive Services, the largest Jiffy Lube franchisee in the U.S., purchased 33 stores, while the newly formed CISA Lubes SC franchise group took over 24 locations.
