The long-term outlook for the Mobile Car Washing industry is positive. It is ripe for savvy company to develop regionally or nationally to dominate the market. Currently in the mobile car wash industry there is no well-known companies as is the case with other service businesses such as Domino's Pizza, Midas Muffler, Thrifty Rent-A-Car, and Jiffy Lube. These companies will be able to develop revenues and market share sufficient to sustain franchisees as local leaders in their fields. The Mobile Car Washing Industry awaits a company, which can standardize the industry and allow for consumers to know what to expect. Long-term opportunities exist for a corporate run company or franchise to move fast in Suburban and large cities in the mobile car wash sector. Such a company would be advised in developing a product line for the do-it-yourself car buff which could be sold at major retail outlets such as Price Club, Wal-Mart and Pep Boys; European marketing and distribution (such as Domino's and Federal Express). A franchise company would be smart for a fast growth policy to sell blocks of 20-40 Franchisee areas as Regional or "Master Franchises" such as PIP Printing did in the early 1980s and call these territories master partnerships. There are many such opportunities once a large company can gain national name recognition. Each region would of course require its own business plan, as weather, regional demographics and consumer buying behavior varies greatly throughout the United States. |
