well, here we go. The city council last week approved a flex-serve about 500 yards from where we have built our express exterior...after a couple of years of cannibilizing our business, they will realize their mistake, and sell it to some investor who thinks he can sit at home and collect his money...and so on and so forth...why do people do this? There are a lot of good locations for carwashes in our metro area. We will kick their ass and NOT take names, and eventually the city will have an empty, useless building. I just dont get it.

YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE.Wake Up!

If you built a free-standing express carwash, you should have realized that you would be wise to provide space to upgrade to a flex-serve, in the likely event that somebody might see your successful free-standing express, and realize its vulnerability. That way, you could upgrade... and save your operation.

Maybe you still can... while the other guys still have time to change their mind... in the face of more formidable competition. As merely an express carwash, you're a sitting duck.

Why? Because the flex-serve also has, as one of its components, an express wash! And, it will be newer than yours. And it offers their clientele a CHOICE of the hands-free quick & clean outside only carwash... or a selection of hands-on services for the variable consumerist that might want a bit more, also provided in a rapid-delivery format.

A stand-alone express exterior is the highest risk format in conveyorized carwashing today, bar none!

Hopefully, you will take deliberate advantage of your limited opportunity to UPGRADE TO FLEX-SERVE... and defend your marketshare.
