Here's an example of valet parking as value-added service.
I don't know how long this article will be available.

"Customers are looking for it. The great thing about us, we can give you the amenities and the same low prices," McGrory said.
"One of the more luxurious amenities is that if you don't feel like loading up your groceries in your own car, have it valeted and then just drive your car up and an employee will load it up for you -- for free."

These extra services will make it harder for others, especially small retailers, to compete. If you can make these services available to other businesses, especially without increasing their prices or their costs of doing business, you may persuade them to outsource these to you.
Even if it increases their costs of doing business, but offsets it with higher volume, you'll have a strong benefit for them to consider.
