My thinking is usually C-store owners are not carwash guys. They run it themselves, & run it poorly. Then, when business suffers, they just shut it down.
Anyor ever tried this, or know someone whom has tried this?
Correct, I do have a lackluster wash. However, bad planning had zero to do with it. As a HIGHLY successful HS bb coach & AD, & being OCD, i usually overplan everything! Every battle is won before it is fought.
6500traffic count, but 15 mph directly in front of WalMart, & @ a corner with stop...
I found an IBA that has been closed down for a bout 8 years! The traffic count on that corner lot is 41,000! It is a city of 80,000 people and there is not a touchless wash at all! It is in a growing area, as well.
Has anybody heard of someone leasing the IBA and hitting it big? Very nice area...
Eric, I didn't do a ProForma. I saw abcity of 68,000 that had zero good Touchless washes, & found a spot in front of WalMart. I knew the traffic count was low, but it is also a stop sign corner with SLOW traffic.
I erroneously thought that would add up to 70cpd. Boy have I been wrong.
But...
Can't offend me, after 33yrs of coaching HS ball. Ha
Traffic count 7500, but it's 15mph, directly in front of WalMart., & at @ Stop sign. Very easy ingree / egress.
No Vacs, & would be a MASSIVE investment to add them, or tire shiner. Building is on an incline, on side of a hill. But that also...
I have a GREAT lookin touchless Petit, directly in front of WalMart. After 9 mos, I switched chems, & now clean cars like a champ.
Issue: i wash 18cpd!! I do not wanna do membetships or an App... yet.
Town of 67,000 with 7 tunnels. 4 are super busy, 3 are not busy at all.
What yall say makes sense. However, I feel like the vast majority of pwners use Low then Hi.
What say ye?
I was striping cars like crazy, in my Petit. McClean sent a field rep, titrated, volumetrics, mojo, hocus pocus, & BAM
Cars are very clean!
I think a bunch of guys save a $hit ton on their SS bays! Especially those Simoniz "Correct" fellas.
But I have never, no matter how strong, been able to clean anything in an IBA, with that.
Maybe the most pressing question today, for wash owners all across the US.
I think I'd go ahead & beat em to the punch.
"But that's me, Im a gambler"🤣🤣
Our installers came back again, yesterday. Traced down the issue for the G&G LED light issue. Looks like a relay burned out.
Also best news: they had me switch from Warsaw to McClean. Guy named Jamie, from McClean came with them. He titrates everything, did volumetrics & bunch of other hocus...
