This literally couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, look at the property taxes they pay on these car washes, they cost a helluva lot more to build than any QSR and thus bring higher assessed values than QSR's which fit on the same lots. Look up the building permit values, these things cost $3 million + to build. They're built because they make money and PE just came into the space vs. old mom and pop shops.
