History and Background

This car wash is the beneficiary of being a long-standing operation and is well-regarded in the way of reputation and quality. Having been originally established in 2006, the current owner purchased this car wash in 2018 with the intentions of bringing it to its full potential. Despite being successful in increasing figures and starting down this path, an unanticipated move to several states away has left the current owner wanting to sell in order to take a more hands on approach with a business and opportunity that is closer to his new home.

Financing

Financing is available for this wash in the form of both SBA (504 and 7a) and Conventional. However, this wash will require $250K of bare minimum cash equity injection by the purchaser at time of acquisition.
