Investor(s) wanted joint venture for

ARCO- AmPm , Conenience store and express car wash

Two locations: Code: USBBJM_092210

There is a brand new, just opened for several months ARCO with an AmPm convenience store,

and express car wash. This station is a “cash cow in training” with multiple sources of revenues, profits,

and cash flow. It is located in a Community Redevelopment District, and as such, has no

competitive gas stations within several miles in any direction, nor will there be for the foreseeable future.

Once it is fully seasoned, ARCO expects this station is pumping about 210k + gallons of gasoline

per month, C-Store is grossing about $75,000-$90,000/per month, and at least another $50,000

per month from the express car wash. Once everything is in place, the projected EBITDA 

for 2010 is an estimated $600,000.In 2011,EBITDA is projected to reach approximately $1.1 million

before debt service. Once fully seasoned, EBITDA could exceed $1.3 million annually.

We are also in the early stages of developing a second location about 6 miles from the first location.

 Once financing is in place, we anticipate being able to open this store by the end of Q4 this year.

This 1.15acre location is right off a freeway exit, and will have a 50 foot sign visible from the freeway. 

Similar to the first, this new location will be an ARCO with an AmPm convenience store, with an

express car wash, per the attached diagram. While there are other gas stations in the vicinity of

this exit, none of them have the full combination of gasoline, convenience store, and car wash. 

The original developer of these facilities and _______ are committed to the long-term success
of these stations.  The on-site manager (who is also one of the minority owners) has over
20 years of experience in successfully running ARCO stations, and has personally opened 10 other
locations across Southern California ________ has a number of resources in the car wash
 industry, and has the expertise available to demonstrate how the express wash will revolutionize
the ARCO model. The successful launch of these locations will give us access to a number of other
 development and  acquisition opportunities in the ARCO space.
This Arco AmPm is located in corner of 2 major roads in re-development area. Lot size : 1+ acre.
C-store size: 3500 sq.ft, Car wash not yet complete. Lease : $2,500/mo. Lease: 30 years.
Land own by the City. The Business owners has the option to buy the lot @ $400k.

Similar sized ARCO with AM/PM convenience stores, including some with smaller  “in-bay”car washes,

are currently listed for sale by other brokers and ARCO for $6-8 million. We expect long term

values to remain at that level even in the current economic environment, and increase once

the economy has turned around, which leads us to project that we could sell this station

in 5 to 7 years for as much as $8 million. By developing several similar locations in the region, 

and building additional brand equity on all of the express washes, we are optimistic that we could increase the long-term valuation multiple on a package sale in 5 to 7 years.

There are two options that we are offering to Investor(s):

Option #1: We are looking for an investor partner to help us complete the full operation on Store #1, and fast track the development of Store #2.  In our ideal scenario, an investor(s) would acquire 40% of both stations for $2.0 million, although the investor(s) could choose to invest $1.0 million for a 40% interest in one or the other station, instead of both.  We will also need the investor’s help to secure a permanent take-out loan on Store #1, and a construction loan on Store #2.  We also have opportunities for other development locations in Southern California , so we would like to build a long-term relationship with our investor(s) to have them participate in these future opportunities.

Option # 2: Car wash only, as a stand alone Entity: We are looking for an investor partner to help us complete the Express Wash.  An investor(s)  would acquire 49% of the Express Wash for $450,000, which would be used as follows:
·         $264,000 for Express Wash equipment
·         $135,000 for tunnel construction (attached to the convenience store)
·         $44,000 for “soft costs” (architecture, engineering, related consulting fees, closing costs)
·         $7,000 for signage
 
We expect to pay out approximately 90% of Operating Profit as a distribution to the partners in the Express Wash, which should result in a target payout of up to $200,000 annually to the investor(s), for a cash on cash return on investment of up to 44% annually.  Longer term, similar sized Express Washes are currently listed for sale by other brokers for $2-3 million.  We expect long term values to remain at that level even in the current economic environment, and increase once the economy has turned around, which leads us to project that we could sell this Express Wash alone in 5 to 7 years for as much as $2.7 million, which would be a return on equity of three times the requested investment.
