Survey results for Start-Up-Time-Price Across the Country

[Kidwash]

I think it would help me and others who have improved their washes in many ways and have not seen an increase in revenue as a direct result of improvements and are now thinking it may have more to do with "were we are at with start-up-time -price & minutes". Therefore, I ask the forum members to help by replying with your:

City
State
Start-up-Price & Minutes
Please add any other info you feel can help

I think this survey log will help many understand how we compare in our geographical areas.

I am located in Warren, Michigan, $1.50 for 3 minutes.
