87. How To Start a $500K/Month Car Wash

Listen to this episode from The UpFlip Podcast on Spotify. John D’Eri and his son Thomas started Rising Tide Car Wash to provide employment opportunities for autistic adults. Ten years later, they’ve grown to 2 locations that bring in more than $500,000 a month in revenue, both a thriving car wash business and proof positive that neurodivergent employees have a lot to offer in the workplace. Providing opportunities for people with autism is an idea near and dear to the D’Eri family. John’s son, Andrew, has autism, and Andrew’s challenges finding a place he could thrive inspired John to start Rising Tide. The truth is, autistic adults have a ton to offer as employees, and Thomas will share how their diverse workforce has helped their business grow in this interview. John and Thomas didn’t start a car wash from scratch. Instead, they bought a failing car wash and turned it into a thriving business. In this episode, you’ll learn the steps of this transformation, what it cost them to purchase and improve it, andother details of how to start a car wash business.Resources:https://bit.ly/3NCfEQv Join UpFlip Academy and launch your businessRising Tide Car Wash - Connect with the company on their websiteReady to be your own boss without starting from scratch?
