19. Trading area analysis Geographic Data We will be located on Brawley School Road, so our primary market will be the Lake Norman area in the Brawley School district stretching throughout the town of Mooresville, North Carolina. We choose this location because of the booming economy of Mooresville and the high traffic in this area; we feel this will trigger sales. Demographic Data We do not expect age, race, or gender to truly affect our demographic market. However, we believe that we will primarily serve middle to upper class families as a car wash is generally a luxury. The Mooresville area that we are in is very high traffic therefore we feel this location will also trigger sales in this thriving area. Psychographic Data Our primary psychographic market is anybody who is concerned with keeping their car tidy and clean. Economic Data Population in July 2007: 21,708.

We will sell to people who live in middle-upper class neighborhoods such as; The Point, The Harbour, The Farms, Isle of Pines, Morrison Plantation, Sundown, Harbour Cove, Bridgeport, etc.

The nearest potential competition is approximately 1 mile away, which is a detailing shop approximately 3 minutes away and our proposal was well received by members in our target market.

23. Analysis of potential location Buy, Build, or Lease? We plan on buying a building with the land that we are purchasing and modifying that building to suit our car wash’s needs.
