About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 2
- Facilities & Assets
- This premium express car wash features a 112-ft Sonny’s/PECO tunnel, dual DRB pay lanes, and 20 Vacutech vacuum stalls across a 1.01-acre fee-simple parcel. The 2,250-SF building features modern, low-maintenance construction and high-visibility frontage along the I-65/Industrial Parkway corridor, situated among national retailers that drive strong daily traffic and recurring wash memberships.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Located in Saraland’s dominant retail corridor, the site benefits from rapid residential and commercial growth along I-65 and AL-158. With 32K+ residents within 10 minutes and strong median incomes, the trade area supports recurring wash demand. Limited express competition (nearest major operator over 2 miles away) positions this asset to capture expanding commuter and household traffic.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Situated in Saraland’s fast-growing I-65 corridor, this site is poised for long-term value growth as residential and retail development accelerates. The AL-158 expansion and influx of national QSR and grocery anchors drive rising daily traffic and membership potential. With limited new pad availability and zoning barriers, existing express sites are well-positioned for margin expansion and premium resale value.
