SUDSY WASH

Sudsy one was opened in 1995 with three wand bays. About three years later a touchless automatic was added. At that time we offered the first PDQ machinery in Idaho. Other than adding another bank of vacuums things remained the same until 2003 when increasing demand prompted us to begin planning another wash. Sudsy 2 opened in 2004 with fewer, but larger bays designed for RV's and once again an automatic. We have offered loyalty cards since we opened. In July of 2012 we added the ability to accept not only loyalty cards, but credit and debit cards. Unfortunately, in 2010-11 we saw increasing costs of doing business in Rigby. The bill for City services was approaching in excess of 10% of our gross revenue. We did raise prices, but the decision was not easily made and still some rancor exists over the necessity to raise prices. To be fair, the City was faced with increasing costs and had to create a way to pay for them. Whether it was/is fairly apportioned still remains a question.
