Subscription Car Washes Are Printing Cash And Here’s Why... | Ian Rickwood | Matter

Express Car Washes. Subscription Revenue. Real Estate Meets Consumer Tech. In this midweek episode of the People Property Place Podcast, Ian Rickwood breaks down one of the most quietly powerful consumer real estate models in the US today: the express car wash. What started as a low quality petrol station add on has evolved into a highly engineered, subscription led business with serious real estate fundamentals. Ian explains why modern express car washes look more like self storage than traditional retail, how the membership model drives predictable recurring revenue, and why location selection is the real competitive moat. The conversation covers everything from conveyor systems that remove customer anxiety, to drying technology developed with Formula One aerodynamicists, and why customers are happy to pay monthly for a service that takes under three minutes while protecting their second most valuable asset. Ian also shares why this model is Amazon proof, highly localised, and increasingly attractive to private capital due to its margins, scalability, and yield on cost. This is a sharp insight into where consumer behaviour, operational technology, and real estate strategy collide.
