(one dispenses tokens offering customers a discount) and the other is setup to dispense dollar coins) Serviced all bay equipment. (There are 4 services per bay, HP Wax, HP Soap, Foam brush soap, and HP Rinse (hot or cold water). To build up revenue the approach is to add functions for customers so they spend more time washing) A road sign for the busy Water street (aka Route 66) is being designed. RT66 is a major cut-thru road to Waynesboro and Chambersburg PA. I have plans drafted to upgrade all the bay equipment to state of the art self service equipment. If I sell the place the buyer can have those plans and I will make introductions to vendors. If I do not sell the place in the future I will eventually install the new equipment and run the place. New equipment I am considering would cost $150K. Other lower cost upgrade options are possible. I could help a buyer understand those options. The place has a lot of potential for someone who has the time to implement the various changes. Can add functions to the bays to increase customer time spent in the bays, can add gift cards and/or loyalty cards, can easily close the two front bays and turn them into retail space or rental storage for cars/boats/etc. A laundromat was considering purchasing the place to convert into a laundromat until I purchased the place. The towing company that rents the lot next door was considering purchasing the place too. I have been told by various locals that the place in its heyday was always busy and supposedly making $150K a year - but this is just word of mouth info from some locals.
