EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Prime Net Lease is pleased to present a rare owner/user opportunity to acquire the fee simple interest in a recently remodeled, freestanding car wash in St. Louis, Missouri, a dynamic and well-trafficked market. Originally built in 1989 as a drive-through car wash, the property underwent significant renovations in 2018, enhancing its infrastructure and operational efficiency. This site presents a prime opportunity for an owner-operator or tenant to establish a successful business. Fee simple ownership of a car wash also provides investors with the opportunity to benefit from accelerated bonus depreciation (buyer to verify).

Strategically located along Old Route 66, a major commercial corridor with 10,000+ vehicles per day, the property benefits from excellent visibility and accessibility. It is easily reached from Interstate 44 and is just minutes from Downtown St. Louis. Additionally, the site is surrounded by top national retailers, including Chick-fil-A, O’Reilly Auto Parts, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Advance Auto Parts, UPS, and Denny’s, ensuring consistent consumer traffic.

Beyond its existing use as a car wash, this property also presents a prime redevelopment opportunity for investors or businesses looking to convert the site into another drive-through concept, such as a quick-service restaurant (QSR), coffee shop, or express oil change facility. With its high-traffic location, strong market fundamentals, and adaptable layout, this site offers excellent potential for long-term value and growth.
