Prime Louisville Carwash | $82K SDE | Growth Opportunity
Business Description
Triple Crown Carwash is an established neighborhood carwash strategically located along La Grange Road in one of Louisville's strongest suburban trade areas. The business benefits from consistent traffic generated by surrounding residential communities, Hurstbourne Green Office Park, apartment complexes, and nearby retail businesses, including a loyal and growing Hispanic customer base.
The facility includes four self-service wash bays with cash and card payment systems, a Ryko SoftGloss Maxi automatic wash, and six vacuum stations. The business generated 2025 Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of approximately $82,000 while continuing to receive ongoing capital investments, with more than $56,000 invested in improvements over the past two years.
This is an attractive value-add opportunity for an owner-operator or investor looking to increase profitability through operational improvements. The current operation has not implemented an unlimited wash membership program, meaningful digital marketing, or premium service enhancements, providing multiple opportunities to grow revenue and recurring cash flow. Additional upside exists through equipment modernization, premium wash packages, fleet accounts, bilingual marketing initiatives, and customer loyalty programs.
The business enjoys a strategic location directly across from Hurstbourne Green Office Park, home to UPS offices and numerous other employers, and is surrounded by the established neighborhoods of Lyndon, Anchorage, and Whipps Mill, creating a diverse and stable customer base.
The sale includes all operating equipment and business assets necessary for continued operation. The real estate is not included and will be leased to the buyer under a long-term agreement.
Triple Crown Carwash represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an established business with existing cash flow, a proven customer base, and significant upside in one of Louisville's most desirable commercial corridors.
Qualified buyers will receive a Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), financial statements, and additional due diligence information upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
