Is your self-service carwash worth 30 to 40 percent “less” than it cost to build?
Does it feel like your income producing property has turned into an expensive job?
If so, flex-serve may make sense for you.
Competition has made it increasingly difficult for many self-service operators to survive.
For example, since 2000, more than 22 percent of self-service locations have vanished and wash revenues have tanked by 69 percent. Self-service spending on a per capita basis has dropped by 71 percent ($14 to $4).
Clearly, this supports ICA’s argument the market has changed from DIY to DIFM.
So, if you are one of those “rich” self-service operators with no problems or worries, you can stop reading now because flex-service can’t help you.
Otherwise, flex-serve can help transform a sick business into a great one.
This is achieved by using technology to differentiate the business, increase average sales, frequency and loyalty and generate new customers.
Regardless of an area, there is “always” enough demand to support at least “one” flex-serve operation.
