The Wolf’s Take 🍟
Close to $1M in revenue off of a $170K investment shows plenty of potential. But what’s more interesting to me is their value prop of working exclusively with Tesla owners.
The concept was founded by two Tesla owners who had no experience within the auto industry. But they realized there wasn’t a suitable company out offering protection for their beloved investment.
Alset auto provides peace of mind for Tesla owners by offering a suite of paint protection and ancillary services that enhance + preserve the appearance. Teslas market share is likely only going to increase in the coming years, and they’ve shown a longer average length of ownership and miles driven than other cars, thus leading to more paint chips and blemishes.
This is an interesting franchise that could be set up to be the auto detailer for a higher income class of EV car owners.

The Wolf’s Take 🍟
Clean Eatz has now shown $200k+ in EBITDA for the second year in a row. It’s a brand that offers healthy meals for customers, and multiple revenue streams for franchisees.
It’s not your standard dine-in/take out restaurant, as Clean Eatz also offers meal plan selections and pre-packaged food options via the “Grab N Go” program.
To me this is a differentiator, and gives franchisees the ability to appeal to a wider customer base than the standard fast-casual restaurant!
