Is the K9000 Coin-Op Self Serve Dog Wash Profitable?

Our client, Do-It-Yourself Dog Wash, in Midland, TX who has 1 K9000 dog wash in their store is doing over 30 washes on a single Saturday with a line out of the door! Combined with 10 washes on various days of the week, they are bringing in $2000 per month in revenue. And they really need a 2nd unit to support this demand since some pet owners don't necessarily want to wait in line.

All this during a recession!? Great job Do-It-Yourself Dog Wash!

The right location + the right awareness = PROFITABILITY!

Washing my 100 lbs lab today

I took the boys to the local Pet Clin self serve dog wash today for their weekly washing. I must say, I figured out how to get Ike, the 100 lbs black lab, done in the 14 minute cycle. Now keep in mind, this includes 3 minutes of shampoo time, 2 minutes of flea & tick, and another minute of rinsing. The key is after I was done rinsing, I wiped off the access water with my hands, literally ringing out his legs... then I quickly towel dried him and used the rest of the 6 minutes with the dryer on the high speed. When the cycle ended, he wasn't 100% dry but dry enough to get him in the truck and after a shore drive, he's back home under my desk and smelling very nice. It's such a life savor for me and is much more pleasant to have a clean dog around the house.

One other suggestion: brush out the old fur BEFORE you begin the wash cycle. I use a rubber square brush for thicker coats. He looks that much better when he's finished and I don't see as much black hair on the floor. Can you say Swiffer? ...well, I certainly don't have to swiffer as often any more.
