Purchaser may lease the property on negotiated terms or inquire about purchasing both the business and the real estate. See MLS Listing #12724510 for the real estate offering. Sale includes business equipment, trade fixtures, and an existing customer base with recurring service. The facility is currently open and operating with car wash/detail infrastructure in place, including connected floor drains and an oil/water separator. NO PRIOR DETAILING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.

Additional features include a heated work area, an employee restroom with a shower, and upgraded natural stone finishes in the customer waiting area and restroom. This opportunity provides the flexibility to acquire the business and lease the property, with the option to purchase the real estate separately. Car wash uses can be very challenging and costly to establish in Chicago, making the existing use and infrastructure particularly valuable. DO NOT DISTURB EMPLOYEES OR CUSTOMERS. Business information and additional details available to qualified buyers.
