Homeless Matters AZ, Inc.

When Homeless Matters AZ, Inc. began its ministry in January 2017, our goal was to make sleeping mats out of plastic bags for the homeless. We quickly learned there was also a need for personal items and began creating Compassion Bags to serve their needs as well. While distributing our mats and compassion bags directly to the homeless on the streets, we realized the homeless were in different phases in their lives and when coming off the streets, needed help moving from the streets to a facility. This led to creating relationships with other organizations who help those in need and Homeless Matters became a ministry not only in the streets but also to anyone in need.Homeless Matters AZ, Inc. has other organizations who now are volunteering and donating to our ministry. We all work together and all are welcome regardless of their beliefs. Some of our volunteers are: Habitat, VFW post 7507 in Fountain Hills, American Legion District 11, The Reborn Church, La Casa De Cristo Lutheran. Scottsdale, The Red Mountain LDS Church Mesa, Salt River Stake LDS, Mesa, Fountain View Village Independent Living, Pueblo Norte Independent Living, Cloud Street Gathering, Valor Veterans Community, Knights of Columbus to name a few. One of our biggest donors and supporters is Commercial Plus, LLC who donate blankets, wipes, crackers, baseball hats, or whatever is needed to fill our Compassion bags. Our volunteers meet at St. Patrick’s on 84th & Shea each Sunday from 2:30 to 4 if anyone would like to join this beautiful ministry. We have sent mats to Africa, bedding to the Navajo Nation, etc. Our volunteers do various projects according to their desires and abilities. We knit our own hats for the compassion bags, make pillows out of the scraps we do not use when cutting the bags to create a ball. We donate clothing, shoes, toiletries, bedding or items to families as needed. Homeless Matters AZ, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit and can be reached: Leona Voltz | Ministry Leader Homeless Matters AZ, Inc. at St. Patrick’s Catholic Community, Scottsdale 480-419-1914 [email protected] In Oct. 2019 Leona was honored by ABC channel 15 as Nick’s Hero nominee “Hero” of the month.

Jet Brite Car Wash

With decades of hands-on experience as operators, when it came time to sell our car wash business who we sold to was important to Sam and me. Chris [Jenks] and the team at Amplify listened to us throughout the entire process. They found the right buyer in ZIPS who would be a good steward of the brand and helped find the best path forward for us where we can continue pursuing our passion for manufacturing high-quality car wash equipment.

Ducky’s Express

I have been a multi-site developer and operator in the car wash industry for over 30 years. Four years ago, a partner’s health concern forced me to sell a portion of my portfolio, and during that process, I was introduced to Jeff Pavone of Commercial Plus. I was immediately impressed with Jeff’s knowledge of my industry and his volume of successful deal closings. In a very short period of time, Jeff found the right buyer at a very fair price, and the transaction closed shortly thereafter. I was looking for a team with honesty, integrity, and a proven track record of success, and I found all of that in Jeff.

These are some of the most exciting times for car wash owners. As we grew 350% in revenue in just one year, we recognized the time to partner up with a top-tier team that has mastered growth in retail and specifically the automotive industry. Amplify Car Wash Advisors had helped us acquire, raise capital, and was the perfect partner to help us reach this next chapter of the Trademark story.

My relationship with Commercial Plus over the past 20 years has been a very professional and trustworthy relationship. The feel of trust is very important in this business, and Jeff Pavone and his staff have exhibited a level of trust that makes me continue to feel that they have my best interest front of mind. I deal with many brokers across the nation, and my best experiences and results have been achieved with Commercial Plus representation.

ModWash

It was truly a pleasure to work with the Amplify team on our most recent acquisition of three additional operating locations in our home state of Tennessee. Their team provided great support and ensured a timely and seamless closing process, and we are excited for the additional growth opportunities this relationship will produce in our near future. We know this is the first of many transactions we will successfully complete with the Amplify team as we grow from our current operating store count of 23 to well over 200 locations across 14 states in the next two years.

For years I’ve talked to a lot of brokers with the same goal; sell your car wash chain as quickly as possible. But I chose to work with Amplify because they were interested and invested in the emotional side of selling my business and truly value long-term relationships. They weren’t forcing me to take a deal just to take a deal. They listened to my concerns and goals then educated me on all my options. And that’s how I decided on the right partner for my chain specifically. I went to bed at night after I signed the papers knowing I got the best deal possible versus just having any deal put in front of me that is only about money.

I have known both Jeff and Bill for over thirty years combined, and respect them both as experts in our professional car washing industry. Their unique and individual strengths bring very strong talent and advice to operators, sellers, and buyers with sharp knowledge, client’s best interest in mind, and an actual personal touch.

Oasis Car Wash

Turning over a business you started from one shovel of dirt 25 years ago and grew to several locations is a difficult and even uncomfortable process. So, when it came time for Larry and me to sell, we chose Amplify Car Wash Advisors to guide us through the process because of their strong reputation and thought leadership in the industry. Their team was professional and did a great job walking us through each step.

Selling our business after 52 years is big deal and certainly not a decision I took lightly, turning over our family legacy was an emotional process and I appreciated that the team at Amplify respected that. They helped me understand my options and found the best deal for me.
