Internet Cafe Car Wash Business Plan

The internet cafe car wash business plan concept dynamically merges cappuccino, sudsy suds and computers. And what a combination!

We've seen a slew of internet cafes pop up all over the globe, and rejoiced that the merger of the two business concepts enhanced the value of each.

Now there's a new twist on this formula: placing that internet cafe inside a car wash. No kidding.

Truthfully, it's very logical. A customer goes to get a car wash and grabs a cup of java. What's the next thing that savvy folk do? Check email, stock quotes, find a restaurant for lunch. All the stuff that you do online.

Customers do even more of all that "stuff" when they need a wax or a detail.

So a crafty entrepreneur in Gainesville, Texas, brought all three concepts under one roof, and ended up winning the Small Business Administration's Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for 2006 with his internet cafe car wash business plan.

Jason Snuggs, the proprietor behind Cappuccino Car Wash had one big surprise: the number of customers he got. Instantly. He presently works with 15 employees, and is gearing up for expansion.

His advice to aspiring business owners is simply to be determined.

“If you don’t risk it, you’ll never know,” he said “... You just gotta go for it.”

Snuggs himself was a veteran entrepreneur by the time he was 20. Throughout college he had a very successful auto detailing business.

At 24, Snuggs approached a banker for financing to open a full-service, automated car wash in the Gainesville, Texas, area. The banker referred him to the Small Business Development Center for assistance in preparing his business plan. After much research and thought, Snuggs submitted his plan requesting a loan to open the internet cafe carwash business plan called Cappuccino Carwash, Inc. His loan was quickly approved and Snuggs was in business.

Last year Snuggs was ranked number one in the nation for “express detailing” and number two for “ticket average,” according to a car wash industry report.

Snuggs didn't have a single "new" idea in his very successful business. Rather, he merged three successful ideas into one.
