CAR WASH Magazine recently sat down with Glen Hiemstra, CEO and founder of Futurist.com to get his take on what the future might look like for the car wash industry.



Hiemstra calls himself a futurist and over his two-decade career as an expert on future trends he’s had a few big "told you so" moments. He warned audiences about global warming and climate change in 1987. He was among the first to discuss the age wave and the end of classic retirement. And in 2006 — one full year before the financial crisis — he was explaining to audiences why the debt bubble would burst.

At Cruisers Car Wash in Northridge, Calif., the choice isn’t as simple as wash, wax or radiator fluid flush. Walk past blue pylons into the gift shop to pay, and there’s the usual mix of greeting cards, massage chairs, and air fresheners. But there’s also a hidden eatery called Lilian’s Bread & Sweets, a bakery and café that’s served some of the Valley’s best Filipino food since 2015.
