Joshua Brown, co-founder of Haag Brown Commercial Real Estate & Development in Jonesboro, said he can’t confirm what his company’s plans are for a Fayetteville car wash it bought recently.

Reading between the lines, though, doesn’t take a scientific rocket as former UA football coach Danny Ford would say.

Haag Brown paid $655,000 for the 3,278-SF Suds Carwash at 2408 N. College Ave., just north of the intersection of College and East Township Street. Haag Brown has developed Starbucks in numerous cities, including Fayetteville and Springdale.

And then there’s Brown making a joke that if Haag Brown could figure out a way to combine a coffee shop with a car wash, the revenue would be twice as good.

Haag Brown also works with Tacos 4 Life Grill, which has a location on College Avenue in the Evelyn Hills Shopping Center in Fayetteville. Haag Brown is under contract for a 2 ½-acre lot on West Sunset Avenue in Springdale for a potential site for a development that would include a Tacos 4 Life.

Brown said the plan is to build a strip center with multiple tenants that include a Tacos 4 Life.

“We’re trying to do a development in Springdale, then do one in Rogers and, eventually, I think they’ll do one in Bentonville,” Brown said.
