The car wash industry is booming. But is it a good fit for you personally?
In this post, you’ll read four examples of how you’ll know if a Tommy’s Express Car Wash franchise is the right business choice for you.
Why are car washes popular franchises to open?
The global car wash services market size was valued at USD 29.3 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% from 2022 to 2030
With our highly automated model, the benefits of a Tommy’s Express Car Wash franchise shine. Low labor costs, a nationwide network base of customers, and consumer trends shifting toward membership-based models all contribute to franchise success.
Here are the four reasons you should choose a Tommy’s Express Car Wash franchise.
1. True partnerships with franchise owners
Our vetting process is stringent. But we choose our franchise partners wisely because we ensure that the relationship is a good fit on both sides.
Capital requirements are one thing. But the character of an owner matters when we want to make a difference in the communities we serve.
One of the ways we stand out in the industry is the fact that we own our own corporate stores. We are in the trenches every day, working alongside our franchise partners.
Our franchise partners and corporate staff work closely together to share best practices, sales tactics, and lessons learned. We can increase ROI and revenue with proven franchise strategies backed by industry experts in sales, retail marketing, and product innovations.
2. Low overhead costs
A Tommy’s Express location is built to run with only 12 full-time team members on the payroll.
In today’s labor market, that matters.
Leverage your purchasing power by joining a nationwide network of owners.
The sheer volume of equipment and detergent that move through our warehouses offers scaling with attractive price points for franchisees.
3. The Tommy Journey propels franchises to open
Our four-phase, 500+ point process takes franchise partners from the initial discovery phase through the grand opening and sets the stage for ongoing success with the Tommy’s Express brand.
Starting with the discovery phase and kickoff meeting, to site selection, project development, and operations, we ensure that every partner has ongoing support to thrive as a Tommy’s Express site.
4. Access to top-of-the-line equipment
Because we started as an innovative equipment company, (improving products along the way), we bring decades of experience to the table.
No one else can do what we do in the franchise world.
Tommy’s Express Car Wash franchises are unique because we own our own equipment through our original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Tommy Car Wash Systems. We’re proud that our stainless-steel equipment is made here in the USA.
We offer worldwide distribution of equipment, parts, and detergents through our franchise model, distributor network, inside sales team, and service and support.
We innovate and test new products and ideas before we release them nationally to make sure they’re the best they can be.
Say yes to a Tommy's Express Car Wash franchise
The unique nature of our manufacturing background—along with our operations experience—propel us forward as a nimble player in today’s car wash industry.
