💭 My 2 Cents: What makes a car wash worth owning is the club: a member comes through about 30 times a year where a pay-per-wash customer only comes once or twice, and at the country’s largest chain members now make up roughly three quarters of wash sales. This company’s club sits at a full-service wash, where the car rides a conveyor through the tunnel and staff clean the inside afterward, with a detail center on site. A manager and an assistant manager run it day to day and the owner is absentee. It washed about 42,000 cars in 2025, the convenience store adds about $109,000 a year, and the conveyor, brushes and chemical injection were recently upgraded. More than 700 members pay an average of $46 a month, over $31,000 every month. That said, I’d want to know how often the average member comes through, since at a full-service wash a member’s visit also costs staff time on the interior. How many joined and how many cancelled over the last year is next, since 87% of conveyor washes have another within three miles. Then the ground rent today, since the lease runs through 2054 and its 3% yearly increases more than double the rent by then. Set those aside and the club is the thing with room left to grow, and with the seller willing to finance half of the purchase, a buyer has time to fill it before the full price comes due.

💭 My 2 Cents: The average vending machine purchase was $2.01 in 2025, while the average at a micro market (an unattended mini store with open shelves, coolers, and a self-checkout kiosk) was $3.02, about 50% more per purchase. This company has run since 1984 and is adding micro markets to a base of 210 vending machines in schools, libraries, offices, malls, hospitals, rest stops, and parking lots. About 70% of those machines are owned and the rest are supplied by Pepsi, and nearly every one has remote monitoring and the latest cashless payment options, which matters because a card purchase at a vending machine averaged $2.45 last year versus $1.57 in cash. Revenue grew 15% in 2025 on new accounts, with long-overdue price increases still to come. How the route splits across the four employees is especially important here, since 210 machines for that small a team likely means the sellers still restock some of them. The terms on the Pepsi machines would show how much of the drink side this company controls, since a bottler often lends machines on the condition that only its drinks go inside. Then I'd ask how many micro markets are running today and which current machine sites have enough people on staff to support one. Worth noting: the sellers will consider a partnership instead of an outright sale, so a buyer could bring in the micro markets with the people who built these accounts still involved.

📅 Established: 75+ years ago

💭 My 2 Cents: Most shops cannot fix a car’s computer. In one survey, 51% of independent shops said they send up to five vehicles a month to a dealer because they cannot get at the data, and the dealer runs about 36% more expensive and far slower. This company is the third option, and has been for more than 75 years: about 60% of revenue is repairing and programming modules at the circuit-board level for customers in all 50 states, with vintage restoration and local inspection work making up the rest. Dealerships and independent shops that cannot do the work send it here, which brings in 40% to 50% of revenue with no outreach. All of that runs across one bench, staffed by two working owners and four others, three with over 20 years in. How much of that bench work the owners do themselves is what I’d pin down first, since the written procedures come with the sale while the two people who perform some of the work do not. I’d also want how long a new technician takes to work modules alone, since the 7 to 8 day turnaround is set by labor rather than demand. And how much of the restoration waiting list is backed by deposits, which separates committed money from pure interest. The upside is the site: the owned 1.5-acre lot has room for more bays, so a buyer hiring to clear that list does not have to move.

💭 My 2 Cents: In Ohio, a store can’t buy spirits from a distributor and set its own prices: the state owns every bottle on the shelf, sets the price, and pays the store it contracts with (called a liquor agency) a 6% commission on each retail sale. This convenience store holds one of those contracts, and its liquor commission averages about $28,500 a month, which at 6% means roughly $475,000 of the state’s spirits crossing the counter every month if it’s all retail. It also sells about $32,000 a month of general merchandise and earns from lottery, an ATM, cigarettes and rebates. It runs owner-operated from a standalone building surrounded by apartments. When the current contract runs out is worth asking first, since each runs five years and the state must consent before it passes to a new owner. The split between retail and wholesale liquor sales would show how much actually moves here, since sales to bars and restaurants pay 4% instead of 6%. And how the store scored last year on Ohio’s agency scorecard, which grades sales growth, store condition, paperwork and inventory and pays up to one extra percentage point of commission, worth $37,000 to $40,000 here. One thing works in a buyer’s favor: rent is $3,400 a month for the 3,700-square-foot building, a cost the liquor commission alone covers more than eight times over.

💭 My 2 Cents: A wig shop serves two kinds of customers. A chemotherapy patient usually needs a wig only until the hair grows back, typically 3 to 6 months after treatment ends, while someone with thinning hair may wear one for years, and a synthetic wig worn daily usually lasts 4 to 6 months. This company has served both for 36 years, and a major hospital group pays the shop directly through vouchers for patients who need help, which matters because Original Medicare won't cover a wig even with a doctor's prescription. It also earns from service, maintenance, and accessories. In addition, oncologists, hospitals, and medical practices regularly refer their patients here. The husband-and-wife sellers work about 60 hours a week with four full-time staff. What took revenue down about a fifth from 2024 to 2025 is where I'd start, since referrals by source would show whether a hospital or practice stopped sending patients. The revenue split between chemotherapy patients and thinning-hair clients comes next, along with how many clients bought again within a year, which shows how much business returns on its own. Then the age of the $260,000 of inventory in the sale, more than 8 months of stock at today's pace, since older stock is worth less than the shop paid. The good news is that earnings in the first half of 2026 already reached about 59% of the 2025 total, so a buyer may be stepping in just as the 2025 dip reverses.
