Market Spotlight: The car wash industry is emerging as a compelling alternative asset class, combining real estate fundamentals with SAAS-style recurring revenue. Ian Rickwood, CEO of Henley Investment Management Ltd and Chairman of AquaSonic Car Wash, recently shared his analysis of this sector's investment potential on our Tunnel Vision podcast series with Investor Relations Executive, Charlie Rickwood. "It's incredibly fragmented...and the core economics are tremendous. You are talking about a recurring revenue model where up to 80% of your revenue comes from membership...which is like a SAAS business model and is really compelling to find in the real estate space."

Modern facilities, like the ones we are building for AquaSonic Car Wash, leverage advanced technologies such as water reclamation architecture and biodegradable cleaning solutions, achieving remarkable resource efficiency that surpasses traditional at-home washing methods. For investors seeking proven business models, the revolution in car washing perfectly demonstrates how conventional industries can naturally align with environmental stewardship when championed by the right partner.

What are the advantages to developing sites versus acquiring sites? By developing greenfield locations for future car wash operations, we have the ability to design each location based on the latest industry standards and technology, ensuring the most efficient use of space and resources. This means optimized layouts, cutting-edge equipment, and custom-built facilities tailored to maximize operational efficiency. Additionally, we have the freedom to choose prime locations that best serve our target market and meet our strict site selection criteria, instead of inheriting sites that may have less favorable positioning or infrastructure. Developing our own sites also allows us to create a unified, best-in-class brand, as we retain full control over brand identity, design, and customer experience. While acquiring an existing locations has been a fast path for growth for many in the industry recently, development offers the greatest opportunity for differentiation and success. Join AquaSonic as we build America's Smartest Car Wash. #ForTheLoveOfTheRoad #CarWash #RealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #RealEstateDevelopment #GreenfieldDevelopment

While much of the world laid tracks, America paved roads. Our nation's story is written on highways, in driveways, and through the open road. As James J. Flink said, “America’s romance with the automobile is enduring,” and this connection isn’t just cultural—it’s economic. Businesses built around cars are a cornerstone of the American landscape, offering long-term stability and security. Even as electric cars increase on the roads, one thing remains constant: they still need to be kept clean. From classic gas-powered vehicles to the latest EVs, the car wash industry remains a stable, essential business in a nation where the love for cars never fades. #ForTheLoveOfTheRoad #CarCulture #AmericanDream #StableInvestments #ElectricVehicles

Branchising is the new franchising - but with a key difference. Branchise: A revolutionary new investment model where investors can own individual branches or an entire market of AquaSonic Car Wash locations while our team takes care of all the day-to-day operations of the business. This approach offers investors greater control, higher potential returns, and peace of mind as our expert team selects prime locations and manages everything on your behalf. Franchise: A traditional investment model where investors or entrepreneurs purchase the rights to operate a location under a brand, but the execution of all operations is up to the individual franchisee or a team that they have to hire, train, and manage. This means a lot more hands-on involvement and responsibility. The key difference: with branchising, you get to focus on growing the rest of your investment portfolio or other business interests while we manage everything on the AquaSonic side of things for you. Discover how branchising can align with your portfolio investment goals, while being a part of the car wash revolution! #BranchiseVsFranchise #AquaSonicCarWash #InvestmentOpportunities #OwnAMarket #Franchise #Branchise #InvestmentConcept
