Strickland Brothers announced the acquisition of LOF Xpress Oil Change. Effective July 15, the deal includes all three LOF Xpress locations in Ames, Ankeny, and Waukee, Iowa. It also brings the brand’s corporate staff and leadership team into the Strickland Brothers organization.
LOF locations will continue operating under the LOF Xpress name through the end of 2025, with integration planned afterward.
