This is a superb opportunity to acquire a reputable car wash/valeting franchise business based in St. Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex

They operate as part of a franchise with full support from the company and are in the top 1% in the franchise group out of over 250 sites across the country! They offer a range of washing and valeting services for cars and vans from a bronze service to a full monty deep clean! They also offer a fleet service and regularly provide special offers and promotions to their loyal customers. They have an app available where customers can pre book their services and then shop in Tesco while their vehicle is being taken care of. It is proven that a customer is likely to spend more money on an app rather than as a drive-in customer; however, it is not a necessity to book on the app as they accept both pre-booked and drive-in customers.
The business was established in 2012 but with the current owner since 2022. They have experienced substantial growth since they began trading and have built up an excellent reputation in their industry and community and are considered a household name amongst their clients. They can also boast a loyal customer base which has resulted in a vast amount of repeat business which has led to impressive financial figures over a sustained period. They can boast a rating of 4.5 stars on Google and have over 100 positive reviews with that number increasing all the time.
The premises has recently been renovated to a very high standard and their office space operates from a converted shipping container which is split into two rooms., one of which is used as a storeroom with water pumps. There is also a roped-off seating area for the use of customers who wish to wait while their vehicle is being cleaned.
