Choosing A Car Wash South Carolina Location

By Jessica Gibson


Traffic count on your prospective site is usually one of the major factors for deciding on a good retail location. How can you determine what constitutes a good traffic count though? Is there a magic formula for what amount of traffic will allow you to be successful in the sedan cleanse business? Have a look at the following article taking us through the theme choosing a Car Wash South Carolina location.

I know many folks don't think this happens or perhaps believe it only occasionally happens, but I assure you it is so wide spread that it has ruined our free-market economy. Okay so let's talk shall we, and for this piece of writing, I'd like to use a piece of legislation in the auto washing sector because I have a good bit of knowledge there.

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.

In my experience, the minimum benchmark was usually around 20,000 average vehicle count daily traffic before they would consider a location. This does not mean that lower traffic counts will not work. You should, however, have strong reasons to locate on a road that the traffic count is lower than 20,000 though. Also, keep in mind that traffic count is only one factor in traffic equation.

P&G could also make it work, as an all-hand-wash, mostly outdoor thing, as they do outside Tempe, AZ near the college, where college students wash cars on top of a concrete slab with a clarifier underneath, but that will not be so great for an inclement climate weather locations. And I doubt if P&G would be looking there because that is not their style, but it would work well.

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.

Many of the sites that I initially thought were enticing were not that great after all because a high-speed limit did not allow for easy entry and exit into the prospective location. These locations were on a well-traveled highway between good retail shopping locations. The speed limit detracted from prospective customers from being enticed to stop at the location.
