RIO GRANDE, NJ – A staple along Route 47 for more than three decades, a fully operational car wash in Rio Grande is now for sale, offering investors or owner-operators a turnkey opportunity in one of Cape May County’s busiest commercial corridors.
Located at 1315 Route 47, the 4,150-square-foot retail property sits on 0.8 acres within the town center zoning district and includes all business equipment and over 30 years of established community goodwill. Built in 1992, the single-story freestanding facility features a 95-foot full-service drive-in wash bay, five self-service bays, and 11 self-service vacuums.
According to marketing materials, the site benefits from strong traffic volumes — approximately 22,151 vehicles per day during the off-season, with substantially higher counts throughout the summer months when tourism surges across the Jersey Shore region. The property’s water system is both well-fed and recycled, a setup that significantly reduces operating costs and environmental impact.
The listing is being marketed as suitable for either an investor seeking steady income or an owner-user interested in taking over a long-standing, proven business.
With its established customer base, strategic location on a major roadway, and decades of operational success, the Rio Grande car wash represents one of the area’s more reliable small-business offerings on the market today.
