In 1994, Jamie Nester was a new student at John Tyler Community College and looking for a summer job.
In his search he met Bob Schrum, then-owner of Flagstop Car Wash, who offered him a gig washing cars. Pay was $4.25 per hour, plus tips.
Nearly 30 years later, a lot has changed.
Nester now owns Flagstop, which boasts eight figures of annual revenue.
Nester has the company on the move, with three new locations in the works in the Richmond area: Stonebridge Shopping Center at 7000 Tim Price Way in Chesterfield; 360 E. Hundred Road in Chester; and on the site of a current Village Car Wash at 2806 Old Pump Road in Short Pump.
