    Pricing -am I out of touch?

    I wonder how inflation will affect EE pricing. Are the unlimited packages at $25-$30 per month sustainable with increased labor, chemical and other costs? Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    Selling my wash

    Banks care about cash flow first and collateral second (if not third or fourth). As you state, if the business cannot repay the debt associated with the purchase then the Bank will pass. The guys that are paying 10x are private equity players chasing cash on cash yield with no borrowing. A...

    Selling my wash

    Futura Revolution Gantry

    Anyone heard of one of these for sale? Had a nice “crash” today at the wash and our gantry is pretty mangled on one side. Will see when distributor repair comes to eyeball but if there’s one out there I might be interested.

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    If you need loud find a cheap dehumidifier and run it nearby. Good ones are relatively quiet, cheap ones sound like you’re in a plane and will go for 8 hrs unless you have a huge humidity problem.

    Frontage Signage Question

    $100 per month return on that small investment is a no brainer unless you think he skips out soon. Plus it still benefits the wash even if he does vacate before paying for the whole thing.
