A New Car Wash South Carolina Franchising System

By Jessica Gibson


Over the years I've become so very cynical when it comes to lawmakers producing new legislation. So, often it pretends to come from an environmental fear, but when we look close, it came into existence due to industry associations and businesses funding political campaigns to get new legislation past preventing one business from competing with another. The going article will teach us more on the subject Should all Car Wash South Carolina recycle their water?

There is not a minimum traffic count that will determine your overall success. However, traffic count along with other location factors will be a major factor in your overall success. A good indication of how traffic effects the overall success of location is shown by how many franchise operations will determine where or where they will not allow their retail stores to be located.

Then, Mr. Clean could sell off those units as Master franchises, where they were clustered and use them for new training facilities, for new owners. P & G has big guns and could use this to help get financing since the new auto swab business building has come to a standstill, financing issues. Still, auto washing is down straight across the board, virtually everywhere. Yes, it will pick up, and the new model will have to be $5.00 auto washes in 5-minutes. Only, a couple of companies have mastered that so far.

P&G plans to sell its franchises for $500,000, and that may not be enough to do a auto swab venture, and I have not seen the FDD (Franchise Disclosure Documents), to see what all that gets the franchise buyer. Indeed, I'd like to see the "Pre-Fab" buildings first (if that is there strategy), then maybe it could fit into a 500K deal.

You also require assessing turning lanes, speed limits, nearby passage signals, ease of entrance and way out, etc. We will talk about all of these factors in more depth later in this section. I would rank traffic count as one of the most important factors in choosing a good location. My location currently has an approximate 14,000 traffic count which in many retailers considerations would be a light traffic count.

An actual automobile cleanse uses that much even after they recycle, plus, 4-6 gallons of water typically leave the automobile swab and drips off later outside as they move the cars out of the tunnel quickly. Then it also drips off the undercarriage as they drive down the road. Still, although the law affects very little, it has unintended consequences and will be used by the equipment vendors in the sedan cleanse associations to sell more equipment.

Most franchisors in the automobile cleanse sector; Bob's auto swab, Rapido Rabbit, etc., have failed due to undercapitalization and selling to franchisees that didn't get it. Whereas P&G doesn't have to worry about that, it doesn't mean they need to go and throw money into a automobile swab sludge pit! The auto swab industry is over-saturated now, and with the economy down, more so, it will be 18-24 months until it returns, meanwhile new outlets will not be hitting legitimate ROI targets in that climate.

Next, consider that there is landscape, bathroom, and washing down the facility of the auto wash, all of which also uses water as well. Does that count? Do sedan washes now have to put tiny meters about all of their other water uses? Who is going to monitor all this that costs taxpayers money for more enforcement officers to run around to check?
