Geaux Clean Express Car Wash is expanding to O’Neal Lane after purchasing a 1.1-acre lot south of Interstate 12 at the corner of Bristoe Avenue.
Geaux Clean Express Car Wash O’Neal Lane LLC, represented by owner Stuart Carter, paid slightly under $635,000 to All American Realty Corporation, represented by Robert D. Phillips, according to sales documents.
Chris Pike of Mike Falgoust & Associates represented the Baton Rouge-based car wash company in the deal. He says Carter has applied for a building permit with the city-parish and construction is expected to take about six to eight months once the plans are approved.
This will be Carter’s sixth Geaux Clean location in the Baton Rouge area.
“There’s a hole or a gap in the market in that location,” Pike says, adding the space, which is adjacent to a Hardee’s restaurant, is in a good location because of the high volume of traffic that traverses that stretch of O’Neal every day.
Pike says Carter has plans to further expand his business, and they are in preliminary negotiations right now for another parcel of land on which Carter wants to build. Geaux Clean has locations on Highland Road, Siegen Lane and Burbank Drive in Baton Rouge; Wax Road in Central; and C. Braud Road in Prairieville.
George Kurz of Kurz & Hebert Commercial Real Estate represented the seller.
