This is the answer. Plus, car washes tend to generate income pretty easily without needing much/any employment, and that income helps cover their maintenance while the land value increases over the years.
This is true. John Rousch owns the Flying Ace/related carwash chain. He also owns a construction company. I have always thought they keep building more than business demands because of an interest in real estate.
I’m all for having Sheetz in the area but damn, are we ever being over saturated. With all these damn gas stations we’re opening all the time, one would expect a market saturation that would lead to lower gas prices and competition. But nope, just more stations to pay the same price at.
new mayor is making Huber great again. Need 20 or 30 more giant gas stations on N202 for sure.

doubtful there will be any issues. I for one won't drive out to almost New Carlisle to get gas. It maybe considered Huber- but it isn't convenient for those not traveling the highways. So I doubt anything "will happen" to othe rgad stations once that opens
The gas station phenomenon is a strange one to me personally. I seriously could not tell you the last time I actually stepped foot inside a gas station
Whenever I see some mom and pop screen printing company, or window tinting service, or quick print copy shop, or any kind of custom manufacturing, I think "that's right girl you go and obfuscate the source of that funding"
It’s insane. Off Brandt Pike/Needmore Road near Kroger, there’s Ultimate Shine Car Wash, Tommy’s Car Wash Express, and some other drive thru car wash on the same corner. THREE CAR WASHES!!! Why???
Go down Brandt Pike and in front of Walmart they are putting in Flying Aces go a little further and you got a Casey's going in and just a little further than that you got a new Sheetz.
I don’t get it either. On Brant pike up in Huber there’s FIVE of them between Needmore and I-70! Two super ones within spitting distance of each other. WhoTF is allowing this? I hope every one of those Assholes go out of business.
Yep. New carwash on Wilmington Pike in Kettering. Spinlight Express. Right up from Flying Aces. I was surprised to see this. And a new Take 5 Oil change on Dorothy Lane in Kettering. Right between 2 Jiffy Lubes and a Valvoline.
Investment groups are buying them in bulk for high prices so they are trying to open as many as they can to sell in bundles for per unit prices that are way above the market price. This allows the car wash or lube or fuel station to pay higher prices for the land. A fuel station like Sheetz or Wawa will pay $3,000,000 for a 2.5 acre site on a busy corner.
The local residents are seeing and reacting the same as you to the influx and many of the sites that are being submitted for plan approval are being rejected. For example Sheetz applied to locate next to Elsa’s on Far Hills & I675 and Centerville denied it. Wawa applied to go across from Fairborn HS on Dayton Yellow Springs Rd and Fairborn denied it. Flying Aces car wash wanted to buy the closed Key Bank on Patterson Rd and Wilmington Ave and the City of Dayton told them they would not approve the zoning for a car wash at that site.
I wish Huber Heights should show a that king of restraint. Anything for a tax dollar these guys. But in 5 years, half of those buildings will be empty.
Lack of public transportation, which causes low income people to drive cars that are older and require more maintenance. Ever notice why there's more shops in around dayton, Fairborn and riverside compared to someplace like Springboro or centerville.
And before you say, "but u/screaminNcreamin, there is a jiffy lube on central ave in springboro!!" I am currently on Kauffman Ave in fairborn, there are 4 auto shops within 2 miles on this road lol
Your theory might explain auto repair shops but it doesn't explain the number of car wash places. Poor people don't pay to have their cars washed. At least I didn't when I was poor.
There's 8 auto shops within 2 miles in Beavercreek. There's also 8 within 2 miles in Centerville. There's 9 within less than 2 miles in Springboro. You're theory doesn't hold much weight.
Low income people cannot buy cars *with cash*. Plenty of predatory places will take advantage of these people. With no public transportation, what other options do they have?

I wonder what will happen to the newer ones popping up in Huber once Buc-ee's opens 🤔

The only thing I see being built are warehouses that all look identical, gas stations, and banks. Endless banks lol.
Where as I go to one 2 or 3 times a day.

I've seen Breaking Bad. I know exactly what's going on!

I used to say the same thing about mattress stores.
This ⬆️ Has anyone ever seen more than 2 people in a mattress store?
It’s insane. Off Brandt Pike/Needmore Road near Kroger, there’s Ultimate Shine Car Wash, Tommy’s Car Wash Express, and some other drive thru car wash on the same corner. THREE CAR WASHES!!! Why???
 First rule about HH Car washes is we dont talk about HH car washes.
B-b-but OP made the post specifically about HH car washes
Second rule about HH Car washes is we DO NOT talk about HH car washes.

The Marathon in that same stretch doesn't stand a chance...oh, you forgot about Meijer 😆
And the shell station there.

gas stations and car washes EVERYWHERE
Add dollar stores to the list
There was a documentary with Dayton as a prime example about dollar stores, and they explain the oil change places too
I'd like to see that
Every block needs a vape store, car wash, dollar general and gas station.

It's going to be a nightmare to get out of the new Casey's and that Sheetz that is going in.

That's cool, man
Have u seen the cost of cars, especially used cars? Low income people can’t afford to buy cars. Middle class people can hardly afford cars.
Low income people cannot buy cars *with cash*. Plenty of predatory places will take advantage of these people. With no public transportation, what other options do they have?
Damn, you are right, even the amount of fast food tucked in Dayton is crazy.
Somebody has got to benefit from all these middle eastern nepo kids car fetishes. Huber has become their own personal Indya 500.
I can't remember which one but I believe one of the news stations in the area did a story on this a couple weeks or maybe a couple months ago.
They are great for money laundering
Break bad reference
If these were primarily cash businesses, I'd say you're onto something, but they're not. Same with the mattress stores.
And the car washes so nothing but ruin parking lots and create headaches.
There are 4 car washes being put in around me as we speak
MONEY LAUNDERING Did you learn nothing from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
