Fri, 04 Aug 2023 11:14:02 GMT

Join the Whitehall Area Chamber as we celebrate the Grand Opening of Tippy's Touchless Car Wash in Whitehall, PA!

Tippy's was once a dream now turned into reality. Started in 1990 by two brothers with nothing but a parking lot, ambition, and some rags, Tippy's has since blossomed into the bountiful business you now see before you. Originally purchased by the brothers in 2006 Tippy's on Sumner Ave has seen massive renovations over the years. Most notably dropping the hand wash for a state of the art touchless wash approach. All the while keeping the mom and pop feel by still having people hand dry your car, put on tire shine, and take your order beforehand. Through the years Tippy's has been a staple in the ABE area. And with this major update staying ahead of the rest doesn't seem like an option but rather a promise!

This event will take place from 12-1 PM with a 12:30 PM Ribbon Cutting.

Promo for the day: $5 base car washes from 9-1 *gold and platinum washes will be $5 off of base price during promotional period, tire shine not included*

We will gather at First Presbyterian Church of Hokendauqua (3005 S. Front Street, Whitehall) from 9-10 AM with a 9:30 AM Sign Unveiling.

This event is free and open to the public, with additional historical activities scheduled later in the day including a walking tour directly after the event (weather permitting) and reception at the American Legion at 11 AM.
Rain or Shine - we'll move inside the community room of First Presbyterian for the unveiling in the case of inclement weather.

About this project:

Whitehall Township, PA, the Whitehall Township Industrial and Commercial Development Authority (WTICDA), and Hokendauqua property owners recently received approval from the National Park Service in Washington DC, regarding the listing of Hokendauqua’s Thomas Iron Company Town in the National Register of Historic Places. The property received the distinguished honor on September 19, 2022.

In 2022, the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Board approved the nomination for this proposed historic district by a unanimous vote to move the project forward for consideration for the prestigious Registry by the National Park Service (NPS). The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) submitted the nomination to the NPS. The National Register is an honorary designation that can be an effective planning, educational, and promotional tool for communities, businesses, and local governments and a source of pride for residents. The listing will have no effect on what property owners can do with their property. There are no regulations or restrictions that accompany the listing.

National Register recognition will bring awareness to this unique neighborhood of homes and celebrate one of the many historic areas and buildings in Whitehall Township. The majority of the homes in the potential listed district were built by the Thomas Iron Company and are unique in their style and cohesiveness. The boundary of the district also includes civic buildings associated with the company and the Thomas Company workers. Additionally, it includes a few “non-contributing” homes located within the proposed boundary by circumstance.
