BUILT RIGHT Franchise owner Jay Dhillon acquired this building in 2018, and it was built a decade before that. While it’s a massive facility as far as quick lube and repair shops go, it’s actually modest compared to the original plans. “It was originally supposed to be larger than that,” Dhillon says. “But they downsized it.” The shop includes a second physical building across the parking lot. Dhillon says that he saw a
few tenants cycle through before deciding to acquire it himself. It serves as a support space for the main co-branded SpeeDee-Midas shop. Altogether, Dhillon’s is a spacious facility with great curb appeal that stands out in his market. “Jackson is a small town, so there’s not a lot of construction that goes on,” he says. “Having a modern building definitely helps our customer base come in. If you have a spit-shined building, it just helps.”
SMALL IMPROVEMENTS Being a newer building, Dhillon says he knew that he had a solid foundation to work with. The layout includes two pit bays for quick maintenance, which have a shared basement area. Overall, there has been little maintenance needed.
