Case Study: Black Rock Bouldering Gym achieves a strong business launch with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Black Rock Bouldering Gym - Customer Case Study

Black Rock Bouldering Gym, founded by Chris Dodge in Phoenix, Arizona, needed guidance as a first-time business owner to turn a bouldering gym concept into a workable business. He turned to SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty for mentoring support while preparing to launch the business, including help with investor planning, property evaluation, and lease structure.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty helped Dodge build a stronger foundation for the gym by refining his investor presentation and improving his financial projections and accounting practices. With this support, Black Rock Bouldering Gym was able to open more quickly and grow into a successful operation offering adult memberships, youth programming, and special event hosting, including unlimited climbing, yoga, and fitness training.
