Interview with Ronnie Corbin,
There are talented people who can create new ways to do things better. There are also good leaders able to execute a plan with extraordinary efficiency. Ronnie Corbin, Founder and President of SourceOne Car Wash Company, is one of those rare individuals who can do both.

Formed in 2006, SourceOne has made it easy for a growing number of private investors looking to profit from the car wash industry to enter the business without the daily challenges of building and managing a location. Under the Legends Car Wash brand, Ronnie and SourceOne have already opened three express-exterior tunnels. As of today, SourceOne has another seven Legends Car Wash locations at various stages in the construction process, two of which are scheduled to open in the next couple of months. Within the next two years, SourceOne projects to have 24 Legends Car Wash locations running in four geographic markets, making it one of the industry’s largest chains.
