Graffiti's car wash downsizing

Posted:

One of Rapid City's only full service car washes closes its doors at the end of this month.
 
The owners of Graffiti's car wash on West Main say they've had a good 12 year run, but they're switching up their business plan.

Owner Kim Benne says business has been down since Safeway opened up their gas station just down the street.

While the majority of their business comes from the car wash itself, which can see up to 140 customers a day, they say downsizing was the best option.
 
"We'll have the detail shop open in the back, so we'll detail the cars as far as the insides and cleaning the outside but we won't have the tunnel wash open where you can go through
the wash," said Benne.

Only 2 of the 22 car wash employees will be kept on to help out with the new detailing shop.

'The Man Salon' has leased the front end of the store to open up a second location. The last day the car wash will be open is September 29th.
