"No way to collect and recycle the waste water for example." - yeah, but there was no waste water from the wash. Cherry used a waterless carwash solution that actually worked pretty well.
My husband was working for Cherry as a second job 3 days a week, and we're really sad to see it go. The money and hours were decent, and he thought it was better than being stuck in a coffee shop or something like that for a second job. He was solidly booked with customers on the days he worked, so I don't think Cherry folded for lack of customers. I also want to point out that not all Cherry car washers were social rejects who had no others options for work except for menial labor... my husband is college educated, we just needed some extra cash.
I think the real crime here, which no one has brought up, is that Cherry gave ZERO notice to the washers that it was going to fold up yesterday. We got an email last night that it was over effective immediately. I'm glad it wasn't our only source of income, but even a weeks notice to get things sorted out would have been nice. FU Cherry!
