    Blood at Whale of a Wash

    A customer at my wash called police because there was blood splattered on the wall. I was 90% sure I would have washed it down myself without thinking twice, as unless there was a body it's always a hunter or something strange although, I don't think any hunting is going on. The PD spent 4 hrs...

    Construction cost of a new wash

    Let's just say a new wash would cost 1.1 to 1.4m What dollar volume would be needed to break even? A new self serve doesn't seem very feasible any more in our area, or in most areas of the country. For that price a person would be better to get into a good franchise and chase real money.
