DRAMATIC PRICE REDUCTION FOR A QUICK CLOSING!
Car Wash Business For Sale and/or Redevelopment Opportunity
The property is currently improved with a 3,345 SF single-bay car wash and two vacant retail spaces totaling approximately 1,335 SF (±780 SF and ±555 SF). The car wash is owner-operated, while the retail spaces have been intentionally held vacant to preserve maximum flexibility for redevelopment or reconfiguration.
The retail bays have a proven history of tenancy, including a tobacco shop and a chiropractic office, and were previously configured as a drive-thru coffee operation, underscoring the site’s adaptability to a wide range of retail and service uses. There is demonstrated tenant interest in the market, providing optionality for near-term activation or incorporation into a broader redevelopment plan.
Located on underutilized real estate in a strong Forest Lake retail corridor, this offering presents a value-add or redevelopment opportunity for a buyer seeking to reposition the site through capital investment, enhanced operations, or redevelopment to unlock the property’s full potential.
