Case Study: Chip’s Wine and Beer Market doubles online sales with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Chip’s Wine and Beer Market - Customer Case Study

Chip’s Wine and Beer Market, owned by Laura and Phil Wayland in Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina, wanted to buy the business from its previous owner during a period when banks were reluctant to lend to small businesses. They turned to SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty for guidance and support in building a strong case for financing.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty helped Laura and Phil develop a sound business plan and a five-year projection presentation for their bank. As a result, they secured a loan, doubled their online sales in one year, and were able to expand by opening two additional stores under the Outer Banks Olive Oil Company brand.
