Investment Overview

Marcus & Millichap Is Pleased To Present An Exceptional Investment Opportunity: Shorty’s Car Wash – Tulsa, Oklahoma. Built in 2024, this newly constructed express car wash facility represents a premier entry point into one of Oklahoma’s most dynamic and fast-growing metropolitan markets. The property is strategically positioned along the I-44 corridor, one of Tulsa’s most heavily traveled routes, capturing both daily commuter traffic and regional travelers. This combination ensures a steady, diversified, and resilient customer base, while the site’s location within a dense retail corridor further enhances long-term visibility and performance potential. Market Strengths Tulsa is the second-largest city in Oklahoma, with a metropolitan population of nearly one million people. The city has long been recognized as a regional hub for commerce, healthcare, and education, and in recent years it has broadened its economic base with significant growth in aerospace, energy, technology, and professional services. Major employers such as Williams Companies, American Airlines, Saint Francis Health System, and BOK Financial continue to anchor the local economy, while newer entrants in tech and entrepreneurial ventures have brought additional dynamism. The city benefits from a pro-business climate, competitive operating costs, and a quality of life that continues to attract new residents from across the country. Tulsa’s affordability, combined with strong schools and cultural amenities, has supported consistent in-migration, which in turn drives both residential expansion and increased consumer spending. Extensive public and private investment in downtown revitalization, transportation networks, and commercial corridors has positioned Tulsa as one of the most attractive secondary markets in the region. Asset Overview The Shorty’s Car Wash property was delivered in 2024 and is outfitted with state-of-the-art Sonny’s equipment, widely regarded as the industry standard for reliability, efficiency, and scalability. Because the facility is newly built, minimal capital expenditures are expected in the near term. The site design emphasizes customer convenience and high throughput, with multiple pay lanes, free vacuum stations, and an efficient tunnel configuration to minimize wait times. The express wash model deployed here supports recurring membership revenue, streamlined operations, and reduced labor requirements—critical metrics for driving profitability in today’s competitive car wash sector. Membership programs not only stabilize cash flow but also build long-term customer loyalty, particularly valuable in high-traffic metropolitan corridors like I-44. Strategic Positioning The location offers strong synergies with surrounding retail and service users, benefiting from cross-traffic generated by grocery, fuel, dining, and other daily-needs retailers. The visibility from I-44 and ease of ingress/egress make the site highly accessible to both local residents and regional commuters. Tulsa’s ongoing population growth and expanding commuter base provide an attractive foundation for continued membership growth and transaction volume. Moreover, Tulsa’s market fundamentals—diverse employment sectors, a steadily expanding population, and substantial infrastructure investment—offer investors confidence in the durability of customer demand. Unlike smaller or single-employer dependent markets, Tulsa provides the economic scale and diversity needed to sustain consistent volume through different economic cycles. Investment Outlook The Tulsa Shorty’s Car Wash location stands out as an exceptional single-site opportunity within a major metropolitan area. For experienced operators, the site offers immediate scale with best-in-class equipment and a proven express wash model. For institutional or private equity investors, the property represents a chance to establish or expand a footprint in one of the Midwest’s most attractive growth markets, with a newly constructed facility requiring little additional capital. As consumer demand for fast, convenient, and affordable car care continues to expand nationwide, assets like Shorty’s Car Wash are positioned to outperform. The site’s location, market fundamentals, and modern design ensure it is well positioned for long-term performance and scalable expansion, delivering both immediate stability and future upside for investors.
