Acquire an established high-volume touchless carwash located at 1014 New Moody Lane in La Grange, Kentucky, directly across from Walmart and sharing the property with a high-volume Valvoline location.
Established in 1996, this business has served La Grange and surrounding communities for nearly three decades, developing a loyal customer base and strong local reputation. The business transitioned ownership in 2024 from the original founders, two longtime friends who successfully operated the location since inception.
This is an opportunity to acquire a proven operating business in a growing Louisville metropolitan market with multiple opportunities to increase revenue and profitability through strategic improvements.
Business Highlights
• Established operation with nearly 30 years of history
• Prime location directly across from Walmart
• Strong visibility and convenient access
• Loyal customer base throughout La Grange and surrounding rural communities
• Approximately 72.6% of revenue generated from the automatic touchless wash
• 2025 Revenue: $325,883
• 2025 EBITDA: $119,135
• 2025 Seller Discretionary Earnings: $145,314
Location Advantage
Located in La Grange, Kentucky, a growing Louisville metro community with continued residential and commercial development, the business benefits from strong traffic patterns and an established customer base.
The location directly across from Walmart provides excellent visibility and accessibility within a primary retail corridor. Sharing the property with a high-volume Valvoline location creates additional customer exposure and destination appeal.
Customer Value Proposition
The business has built customer loyalty through quality service, convenience, and strong value. The premium wash package is priced at only $20 and includes Ceramic Coat, providing customers with exceptional value compared with competitors who charge additional fees for premium protection services.
Growth Opportunities
A new owner has multiple opportunities to increase revenue and profitability:
• Equipment Modernization – The PDQ 360 Plus Touchless automatic wash system is approximately 10 years old and has been regularly serviced by Sonny's CarWash. Future equipment investment can improve uptime, reduce repair costs, and increase customer satisfaction.
• Unlimited Wash Membership Program – The business currently does not offer a recurring membership program, creating an opportunity for predictable monthly revenue and stronger customer retention.
• Digital Marketing Expansion – Opportunities exist to increase customer acquisition through online advertising, promotions, loyalty programs, and customer engagement.
• Commercial Growth – Additional opportunities exist through fleet accounts and local business partnerships.
Assets & Operations
The sale includes all operating assets necessary to continue the business, including the automatic wash system, self-service wash equipment, vacuum stations, payment systems, bill changers, security cameras, and related infrastructure.
The business benefits from established vendor relationships, including equipment service and chemical supply support through Sonny's CarWash.
Lease Opportunity
Real estate is not included in the sale. A long-term lease opportunity will be available to the purchaser with a 10-year initial term plus two 5-year renewal options under a Triple Net Lease structure.
This provides long-term site control while allowing a buyer to acquire an established operating business without the capital requirement of purchasing real estate.
Ideal Buyer
This opportunity is ideal for existing carwash operators, strategic buyers, owner-operators, and investors seeking a proven business with identifiable growth opportunities.
The combination of location, operating history, customer loyalty, cash flow, and value creation opportunities makes this a compelling acquisition opportunity.
