Car Wash Chain Acquisition

A private equity firm is considering acquiring a car wash chain with 200 locations in 14 markets, $40M in revenue, and targeting 30% growth in 1 year. The case explores strategies to achieve this growth through market analysis, new product offerings, and expansion opportunities. Key considerations include market size estimation, competitive landscape analysis, and potential new services like vacuuming and waxing. The analysis suggests that adding these services could achieve 25% revenue growth, with further opportunities needed to reach the 30% target. The case also examines geographical expansion and acquisition strategies in existing and new markets.
