And it’s quite genius 

It's smart. I still question whether or not the amount of money he had to spend to get all that high end property on Shepherd is going to pay off. Because I swear the Burger Joint and Taco Stand are never THAT busy when I drive by (to be fair, I'm also old so I'm not driving by in the evenings and nights during the weekend). But I mean, the guy made Burger Joint, then Taco Stand, then later decided to buy the land for Car Wash and Pizza Place, so clearly he's seeing a positive long term strategy there. So in other words, I don't know shit about fuck. But I get it.

I don't understand the issue you have with general capitalism? "Travesty of land use." Car washes make bank, and they're an excellent way to pay the land note while the land itself does another round of appreciation. And as JS1 said, the same dude/dudes own all the other restaurants on that side of Shepherd for like 4 blocks. "Car detail is going to take an hour. Why don't you head down the street and grab a beer, we'll text you when we're done."

That bigger monstrosity on Shepherd by the apartment complex will also make money. 

FWIW, Sean Bermudez doesn’t own The Car Wash. It’s owned by a resourceful entrepreneur that likely saw some of the synergies you identified or at least I’ve had the same thought.
 

I was referring to the monstrosity by the apartment complex. I’m sure it will make money, but I was more referring to the fabric of the neighborhood. The owners/management of that business have been terrible neighbors to the nearby residents. The people that live nearby have used dB meters to register noise from their automatic dryers that are well in excess of noise ordinances. When confronted about it, the guys have told the neighbors to fuck off instead of trying to find a solution that is in compliance with city ordinances.

I mean, I'm pretty sure (without being an expert) that they're following city rules, because city noise ordinances only apply to amplified noise, and even that during certain hours. Houston's zero zoning policies for separation of industrial and residential are at play here, if I had to wager a guess. But I'd bet the car wash is totally in compliance.

Okay.
