In this second episode of a two-part series, International Car Wash Association CEO Eric Wulf speaks with Jim Davis, a professor of corporate strategy at Notre Dame and now Utah State University. Together, they offer an exclusive preview of Davis's upcoming study, set to be unveiled at ROADMAP, DESTINATION: PROJECTIONS on December 13.

The conversation begins with ICA's interest in The Consolidation Curve, which led to Davis’s research on consolidation within the car wash industry, and expanded to explore industry saturation. In this episode, listeners get a sneak peek at Davis's key findings, including the difference between consolidation and saturation, their critical importance for business owners, and their impact on both operators and consumers. Davis delves into how these trends intersect to shape the industry, offering insights valuable for strategic planning and operational decision-making.

Beyond the data and formal presentations, Davis highlights the invaluable networking and informal "hallway conversations" that bring this research to life and make it actionable. For Davis, these “confluence of factors” can ignite transformative ideas and strategies for the future. There’s no better place to plan for your business’s future than at ROADMAP.
