High-yield commercial property featuring a self-service car wash, a leased kebab stand, a tobacco shop, and slot machines

The location operates a self-service car wash center with flexible, self-service vehicle cleaning options, as well as a tobacco shop. The offerings are complemented by slot machines, while a leased kebab stand provides the on-site food service. The combination of self-service, retail, leisure, and food and beverage offerings makes it possible to appeal to a wide range of visitor groups.

The customer base consists primarily of local and regional B2C users of the self-service car wash, the tobacco shop, and the vending machines. In addition, a commercial food service tenant—which operates a kebab stand at the location—contributes to the mix of users and revenue streams. Demand is bolstered by the convenient location, easy accessibility, and the concentration of several demand-driven offerings in a single location.

The market is characterized by its catchment area in the border triangle. Regular customers include people from Germany, Switzerland, and France. In addition, its location in the industrial park—just a short distance from the A5 highway—is also ideal for walk-in customers. The nearest city center is 2 kilometers away.

The company competes with regional self-service car washes, gas stations that offer car washes, snack bars, and specialty tobacco shops. Competitive advantages stem in particular from the combination of several complementary uses at a single location, the attractive location, and the associated convenience factor for customers. The diversification of revenue streams, as well as the existing lease agreement with the kebab stand, also reduce dependence on a single line of business.
