A difficult write but here it is.
After more than 15 years, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close our car wash business.
What started from nothing grew into something we were truly proud of. It’s been a huge part of our lives, and we’ve poured everything into making it a success. We’ve loved every minute, and that’s what makes this decision so emotional.
As many of you know, we recently took a chance on opening a new business. We never expected it to grow the way it has, and we quickly realised that running two busy businesses on the same site just wasn’t sustainable. Something had to give.
So, with heavy hearts but hopeful minds, we’ve chosen to take the biggest risk yet — closing the car wash to focus fully on growing Cuppa Joes into the best coffee drive-thru we possibly can.
Watching the wash being dismantled today was tough. It marks the end of an era for us. However, the bays, vacuums, and valeting services will continue to operate as usual.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you who has supported us over the years. Your loyalty has meant everything, and we are truly grateful.
There will be some work taking place on site over the coming weeks as we make changes. We’ll do our best to keep any disruption to a minimum.
Thank you again for being part of our journey.
— Dougle & Maria
