A New Car Wash South Carolina Franchising System

Over the years I've become so very cynical when it comes to lawmakers producing new legislation. So, often it pretends to come from an environmental fear, but when we look close, it came into existence due to industry associations and businesses funding political campaigns to get new legislation past preventing one business from competing with another. The going article will teach us more on the subject Should all Car Wash South Carolina recycle their water?

What intrigues Corporate America about the vehicle cleanse business anyway? Well, here are some of my thoughts: There is a contingency of Harvard Business School MBA'ers who have as part of their class assignments to access the concept of a nation-wide "van swab Company, " and once these kids get out of school, they remember this and then think it's a good idea.

If you research the real estate requirements of many of these retail operations, a specific traffic count minimum will be disclosed. While I was working with a leading a local commercial real estate developer, I learned very quickly that traffic count was always a high priority on every retailer's list for obvious reasons. When you contact the real estate department of any major retailer and send them a prospectus on a location, the traffic count is always prominently displayed up front and personal.

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.

Now then, back to this regulation, if they are doing it to the automobile Washing Industry - they are going to do it to the truck swab sector too. Not that recycling isn't wise, just that it is mandated in this way. Truck washes already recycle also, but what about other sectors of the washing industry? How about a very small detail shops that also cleanse cars, allowing customers to come in between quarterly or monthly details?

Instead, they are looking at a full-on facility, it's just not in the cards in my opinion, and I question their strengths and weaknesses, I'd like to see their SWOT Analysis, and poke some holes in it. Plus, for a company like P&G, they want to sell their products. Thus, they do not want to own the car washes, so they wish to franchise them. Wrong!

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.
