BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
“Sudshack”
Professional Hand Car Wash & Valeting Centre
www.sudshack.co.uk
Ref.AL209
Location Preston. PR2 2DT
Asking Price £ 125,000
A rare opportunity to acquire a very well established professional hand car wash and valeting centre that has been successfully trading from this high profile site for some 16 years. The Sudshack provides a comprehensive car wash and valet service to customers utilising market leading “Autosmart” car cleaning products and the latest PECO dryers brought over from the USA.
Ideally situated on Blackpool Road, Preston, the business enjoys excellent volumes of custom from the general public as well as several trade accounts (trade customers account for circa 10% of overall business levels at present). Local council figures advise 20,000 cars use the very busy Blackpool Road on a daily basis so this business has a large captive market that drives past every single day!
The business has excellent signage and the premises are large with ample car parking as well as a waiting area for customers. They operate a clear menu system so customers can choose the appropriate services.
Uniformed staff provide a courteous and consistent level of service to customers. Because of this the business has a loyal base of repeat customers that is growing year on year.
We are advised ‘The Sudshack’ washed well in excess of 20,000 cars last calendar year and valeted a further 2,137 vehicles.
Expansion Potential
The business has the space and capacity to significantly increase sales revenues within the current infrastructure (it is believed capacity could be geared-up to 30 cars an hour!). ‘Sudshack’ could extend its current opening hours while also looking at developing the retail of complementary items such as air fresheners, confectionary etc.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has its own informative website www.sudshack.co.uk and also does some leaflet drops from time-to-time. The company enjoys high levels of repeat business and relies on word of mouth recommendations and referrals to generate most of its enquiries
