“Ozzie,” the iconic mascot of Octopus Car Wash, waved its last goodbye this week at the three Madison locations of the venerable car wash. Arizona-based Mister Car Wash purchased Octopus Car Wash in June and new signs are being installed.

Octopus owner Jeff Jurkens will take possession of the Ozzies, the three-dimensional, multi-armed mascot originally conceived by a close friend of John Jurkens, the founder of Octopus and a patriarch of the car wash industry.

The signage changes will be taking place at 1039 East Washington, 2202 University Ave., and 907 S. Park.
