I read an article about one close to you recently. Didn't know that was a thing

Yeah, the one in original Thornton? It's been for sale for years I guess.

I'm not sure what constitutes original Thornton, but it was the one by the post office there.
It was about the newest owners basically going broke over a dry cleaner that was there years ago

Consider a portable wash unit.

Yeah, that lot was the first commercial area in Thornton and had the post office, grocery store, hardware store, etc. Now it's an unmaintained dump with only 2-3 active businesses at a time there. Black Bag motorcycle training is there though.

Likely not what you were looking for but:

Yeah, she’s looked into that option. Thanks though.

Figures from an owner I talked to a while ago put new construction for automatic units at profitable quickly. This was in a small rural town so the land wasnt expensive. The two bay unit was about a mil though without dirt.

I saw this on a google search of "most profitable businesses." It's huge when you can not have an office, or a store, and just go out there and make $50/hour, etc.

I read similar articles back in the 70's and was enticed by the fast easy money.
Started worm farming and found the market was saturated.
Only the first in the business were making money selling to those that followed.
Same experience when I sold some land to a Llama rancher/farmer.
He found he paid $30k each for breeding females and the coyotes and other predators (including the male Llamas) got the crias.
I had to foreclose on his loan on the land when he went into bankruptcy.
Assess the risk you want to take and the amount you can lose.
