Prime Net Lease is pleased to present a rare owner/user opportunity to acquire the fee simple interest in a recently remodeled, freestanding car wash in St. Louis, Missouri, a dynamic and well-trafficked market. Originally built in 1989 as a drive-through car wash, the property underwent significant renovations in 2018, enhancing its infrastructure and operational efficiency. This site presents a prime opportunity for an owner-operator or tenant to establish a successful business. Fee simple ownership of a car wash also provides investors with the opportunity to benefit from accelerated bonus depreciation (buyer to verify).
Strategically located along Old Route 66, a major commercial corridor with 10,000+ vehicles per day, the property benefits from excellent visibility and accessibility.
