Aberdeen Car Wash

• Prime Location With Strong Visibility – The Aberdeen Car Wash is strategically positioned along S Philadelphia Boulevard (US-40), one of Aberdeen’s primary commercial corridors, benefiting from excellent visibility and exposure to 39,632 vehicles per day. Its central Aberdeen location provides convenient access to the surrounding residential population, employment base, and concentration of retail and commercial activity.
• Strong Surrounding Retail & Daily-Needs Demand Generators – The location benefits from a dense concentration of national retailers, grocers, restaurants, lodging, residential communities, schools, and other daily-needs destinations. Nearby demand generators include Walmart Supercenter, ALDI, Lidl, McDonald’s, 7-Eleven, Aberdeen Parke Apartments, multiple hotels and motels, schools, churches, restaurants, and additional local retail all within approximately one mile and predominantly along the same S Philadelphia Boulevard corridor. This concentration of complementary uses generates consistent consumer activity throughout the immediate corridor, providing the property with strong cross-consumer exposure and recurring traffic from customers already traveling S Philadelphia Boulevard for everyday needs.
• Concentrated Automotive Corridor & Commercial Account Upside – The site is positioned within a highly concentrated automotive corridor, with numerous vehicle-related businesses. Located within approximately one mile and along the same S Philadelphia Boulevard are Ford and Chevrolet dealerships (directly across the road from the property), Harris Autos, Preston Aberdeen, Budget Car Rental, NAPA Auto Parts, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NTB, Midas, and numerous independent repair and collision businesses also nearby. The concentration of automotive businesses highlights strong vehicle-related consumer activity within the immediate trade area while providing ownership with an opportunity to pursue dealership, rental-car, fleet, and other recurring commercial wash accounts.
• Significant Recent Capital Improvements – Current ownership invested approximately $1.3 million into the property and wash operation between 2023 and 2024, significantly improving both the customer experience and physical infrastructure of the site. Improvements included a complete tunnel renovation, installation of two pay stations, new vacuums, and additional site upgrades. The significant recent capital investment provides an incoming operator with substantially refreshed infrastructure while reducing near-term deferred capital requirements.
• Established Membership Base With Additional Growth Potential – The site currently maintains approximately 750 active unlimited wash members, providing an established base of recurring monthly revenue. With an existing membership program already in place, new ownership has the opportunity to further expand membership penetration through targeted marketing, conversion of retail customers, local partnerships, and continued customer acquisition throughout the surrounding trade area.
• Limited Local Competition – Aberdeen Car Wash is one of only two primary express car washes serving the immediate Aberdeen market, with the other location approximately two miles from the property. Additional express car wash options are concentrated approximately 10 miles south in the Abingdon and Edgewood markets, providing Aberdeen Car Wash with a broad surrounding customer base from which to continue building retail volume and recurring membership penetration.
• Attractive & Growing Aberdeen Trade Area – Aberdeen Car Wash serves an established and growing trade area with approximately 28,644 residents within three miles and 53,605 residents within five miles. The surrounding population is projected to continue growing through 2030, while the five-mile trade area maintains an average household income of approximately $128,743, providing a strong consumer base with attractive spending power to support recurring car wash demand.
• Owner/User Opportunity – Opportunity to acquire the building, business and underlying real estate.
• Tax Benefits – Car washes qualify for bonus depreciation and an accelerated depreciation which can create higher returns on investments. Please consult with CPA for details.
