About this property
0.62-acre (26,930 SF) site with 100 feet of frontage on historic Route 66 (W. Main Street), Barstow's primary retail corridor. Currently improved with a 3,753 SF full-service car wash with an 80-ft tunnel that has operated on the site for six decades, making it a strong candidate for an express tunnel conversion or ground-up car wash redevelopment. Full drive-around circulation, uncommon on a parcel this size locally, supports stacking lanes, a longer tunnel and expanded vacuum positions. An existing car wash use may offer a faster path than a raw-land build; buyer to verify with the City of Barstow. Landmark pole signage and strong name recognition. Barstow sits at the I-15/I-40 junction, the main route between Southern California and Las Vegas, drawing interstate travelers and commercial and government fleets in addition to local households. The BNSF Barstow International Gateway, a planned ~$4 billion, 4,500-acre rail and logistics facility approved by the City Council in June 2026, is expected to break ground in late 2026 or early 2027 and could add significant daytime population and fleet traffic. The operating business can convey with the real estate, so a buyer may keep the wash open during design and permitting. Under current ownership, monthly revenue is up 48.3% through June 2026. Financials available to qualified buyers upon signing a confidentiality agreement. Also suited to other auto-service or retail uses, subject to city approval. Please do not disturb the business or employees; contact listing agent for more information.
