Rare opportunity to acquire a car wash business with 16 years of operating history in a growing market. The company offers a full range of car wash services, giving customers a single point of contact and driving healthy average tickets. The trade area is experiencing steady population and commercial growth, supporting long-term demand. The owner's role can be learned by a motivated buyer during the training period; industry experience is helpful but not essential. A tenured team of 7 handles day-to-day operations; several key employees have been with the company for many years. Customer retention is high, and the phone continues to ring on the strength of the company's name alone. What began as a small operation in 2010 has grown steadily through referrals, repeat customers, and a reputation for doing the job right. Opportunities of this quality and tenure rarely come to market in this category.
