Business Description
This established express car wash in Fort Worth is offered with its owned real estate included in the asking price a turnkey, stabilized operation built in late 2020 with all-new equipment and a proven operating history.

The operation is supported by a base of approximately 200 to 225 active monthly wash members, providing a foundation of recurring, predictable revenue on top of retail wash traffic.

- Facilities & Assets
- Built in late 2020 and offered with the owned real estate included in the asking price. All-new Sonny's wash systems with an 80-foot express tunnel, 16 vacuum stations, two automated pay stations, and brand-new License Plate Recognition readers tied to a DRB POS and management system. The freestanding building (approx. 2,840 sq ft) sits on a high-visibility commercial corridor with strong daily traffic. Including the real property eliminates lease risk and transfers a hard asset with the business.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Express exterior tunnels are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. car wash market, driven by high throughput and membership-based recurring revenue. Fort Worth is among the fastest-growing major U.S. cities (population ~963,000; median household income ~$82,500), supporting steady demand. This location's high-traffic corridor (~24,153 vehicles/day), 2020-built infrastructure, premium Sonny's equipment, and established membership base position it well against older or leased competitors.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Several evidence-based levers exist to grow revenue without major capital outlay: increase monthly membership enrollment through targeted local marketing and signage, improve the retail-to-membership conversion rate from existing traffic, and optimize wash-package pricing. The all-new equipment and LPR/DRB infrastructure already in place provide capacity to support higher volume as membership grows.
