EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FULL-SERVICE CAR WASH WITH LAND + APPROVED 96’ EXPRESS TUNNEL CONVERSION
High-Performing Wash | 80’ Existing Tunnel | $1.3M Projected 2025 Revenue | Glendale, CA
Keller Williams Commercial proudly presents Glendale Classic Car Wash II, a rare combination of fee-simple real estate, an established 80-foot full-service tunnel wash, and approved plans for a brand-new 96-foot express tunnel conversion. Located along the high-traffic San Fernando Road corridor, this offering provides a stable operating business with a shovel-ready path to significant revenue and EBITDA expansion.
Current Operations – Full-Service Model
The wash operates on a ±23,427 SF lot with a ±5,343 SF building (including tunnel), offering exterior cleaning, interior services, detailing, and engine cleaning. POS metrics show strong and consistent performance:
2023 Revenue: $1,210,562
2024 Revenue: $1,280,629
2025 YTD Revenue (Jan–Oct): $1,083,152 (projected $1.30M+ full year)
2025 YTD Car Count: 40,645 (projected 48,000–50,000+ annually)
Average Ticket: $26.58 and rising
Revenue Mix: ~90% tunnel-based washes (ideal for express model)
Operational efficiency improved year-over-year, with 2025 YTD net income nearly matching all of 2024, supported by stable gross margins of ~96%.
Value-Add Opportunity – Approved 96’ Express Tunnel Conversion
The sale includes fully approved architectural and structural plans for a complete conversion to a 96-foot express tunnel, unlocking:
- 25–40% reduction in labor costs
- Throughput capacity of 80–120 cars per hour
- Recurring membership revenue (750–1,500+ members typical for volume)
- EBITDA margin expansion from ~5–10% ? 25–40%+
- Significant valuation uplift in line with express car wash trading multiples

All entitlements are already secured, allowing a buyer to execute immediately.
Investment Highlights:
- Fee-simple ownership of land + building + business
- Strong historical sales with upward trajectory (projected $1.3M+ in 2025)
- High-volume corridor with excellent visibility and traffic patterns
- Ideal revenue mix and car counts for express conversion economics
- Rare combination of in-place income and shovel-ready redevelopment
- Located in supply-constrained Glendale, where car wash sites rarely come to market
This offering is well suited for regional and national operators, private equity roll-ups, owner-operators, and investors seeking a stabilized business with high-upside express model potential.
