What Blue Iguana Car Wash does

Blue Iguana Car Wash is a private, for-profit express car wash operator founded in 2013 and headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, where it runs six physical wash locations (three tunnel-only and three tunnel + self-serve). Its core product is the Unlimited Wash Club, a monthly subscription offering four service tiers priced from $19.99 to $34.99, with automatic vehicle identification via license plate recognition at tunnel entry. The product surface also includes standalone wash packages priced $10 to $25 per visit, a B2B Fleet Program with volume discounts and monthly consolidated billing for dealerships, government agencies, and service businesses, a 'Blue Iguana Cares' fundraising program that pays 50% of wash proceeds back to participating non-profits and schools, and gift cards sold at all locations. The company employs between 51 and 100 people, serves primarily individual consumers with secondary exposure to fleet operators and community organizations, and operates exclusively within the Springfield, MO metro with no disclosed geographic expansion, funding, or M&A activity to date. The Wash Club subscription, fee structure, fleet billing, and fundraising partnerships form the four distinct revenue streams.
