Sometimes You Get a Wild Idea

Okay. So, it's really not that wild. I have been involved with several businesses in the past. Nothing I will disclose. But there's a car wash not far from my house that gets what we call 32k ADT. It's a manual car wash with two automatic brushless bays as well as four manual bays. It's for sale. Depending on a variety of factors, a car wash like this can run anywhere from $200,000 on up to a half a million, to even a million. This particular one SHOULD be in the range of $125k to $175k by my estimation. But of course, that depends on operating costs and revenues as well as what the current margin it is receiving right now happens to be. I have been considering buying it, if I can get more information about it, which I may do, but I am simply trying to get some preliminary information about it which has proved difficult. It was listed with Barber-Murphy, but is also listed through Strano, but I can't find anything at all about it. If I really become interested, of course I will make some contacts. But like I said, usually I prefer to have some information before I do that. These are generally very profitable. Have you ever considered owning a car wash like this? Would you? By the way, in case you may have been wondering, ADT simply stands for "average daily traffic." That's just the average number of cars traveling along a roadway next to a business on a daily basis. It gives you an idea of potential customers. What I like about a car wash is that it's generally turnkey, low maintenance, low cost, and always in demand.
