Our Investment Process

market research & Site selection

We use proprietary data analysis to identify high-growth markets with strong traffic counts, population growth, prime retail corridors, and limited competition.

acquisition & Development

We acquire land or underperforming Tommy’s built sites and develop or rebrand to Tommy’s Express, managing entitlements, construction, and franchise coordination.

operational excellence

Post-opening, each site is managed by our professional operations team with continuous support from Tommy’s corporate—ensuring consistency, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

exit strategy

Our primary exit strategy is to sell the portfolio to larger institutional aggregators seeking scale, brand alignment, and consistent operating performance. However, we structure our investments with multiple exit pathways in mind—designed to optimize value and align with investor goals.

Brian in this section below, you have the bullets bolded and it is too spaced out. See below.

By owning the underlying real estate at each Tommy’s Express Car Wash location, we preserve flexibility to pursue:

  • Portfolio Sale to Strategic or Institutional Buyers
  • Sale-Leaseback Transactions to unlock equity while retaining operational continuity
    Long-Term Hold for Passive Cash Flow
  • Potential REIT Roll-Up or contribution to a REIT structure to facilitate liquidity and broad market access

This optionality ensures we can respond strategically to market conditions while prioritizing maximized returns and investor alignment.
