Unlocking and Tightening Up Revenue Centers | Kleen-Rite Radio Ep 26
Ep. 26 (Unlocking and Tightening Up Revenue Centers) Welcome back for Episode 26 of the Kleen-Rite Radio podcast! In this installment, Marc and Phil break down some of the ways to focus on individual revenue centers to maximize their value. In the same way they encourage operators to do a S.W.O.T. analysis of their entire site, they urge operators to take that same analytical mindset and apply it to each revenue center with an honest, critical approach. Marc and Phil offer some practical ways this can be done, including real-life examples of successful changes they made to their car washes. From the positioning of equipment and aesthetic upgrades to offering the right chemicals and modern payment options, they hone in on the nuances that separate the best car washes from the average ones. It’s all about the customer experience! Listen to their conversation and start thinking about the ways YOU can optimize your revenue centers. Thanks to Laurel for sponsoring this episode!

If you aren’t familiar, OPW is the larger company behind some of the best names in the car wash industry, including: PDQ, Belanger, Transchem, and more.
