Thanks for all your responses!
My first choice is actually a car wash business, but none are for sale (that I can find).
I've been working @ my family's restaurant business since i was a kid (so I am familiar with retail, getting supplies, handling cash, etc.). We are selling so that's why I am looking for a small business to operate. The reason I am looking @ this type of business is because it seems to be as basic as it gets and my uncle was also in this business and he's doing really well now (he's in real estate development now). My main goal is the learning experience but I do expect a decent salary.
Any further insights are greatly appreciated!
