Summary:

Clean Green Car Wash, a fictional firm, operates five car washes in two states. The company distinguishes itself as "America's greenest car wash" by prioritizing water conservation, the use of non-toxic cleaning products, and their commitment to community involvement. An example of community involvement is the effort at organizing monthly beach cleanup activities and supporting local organizations through donations and job creation. The financial viability of Clean Green's business model is demonstrated by its average five-year return on investment of 30.4%, significantly higher than the industry average. Clean Green aims to expand its positive environmental impact and become the largest car wash company in the United States via franchising. Students will be asked to analyze if the Clean Green Car Wash business model is suitable for franchising, as the company seeks to expand their operations.
