🌅Good morning! Welcome to the weekend. Each Saturday, we’ll send out a truncated version of the Car Wash Daily News email newsletter, which will include a roundup of the top stories that appeared over the course of the previous week.
👉To give you an idea of what our daily newsletter has to offer, you can access all of its contents - including the long-form version of stories teased on the newsletter. At a later date, as a paid subscriber, you would be able to maintain full access. At that time, only short teasers and summaries will be available in the newsletter and on the Website without a subscription.
We’re excited about offering a new addition to the media landscape to help publicize an underserved industry. I hope you enjoy reading.
