A SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty Case Study
Elwood Restaurant, founded by Chef/Owner Adam Diltz in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood, needed help turning years of culinary passion into a viable business. With guidance from SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty, the restaurant sought support with zoning, developing a basic business plan, and building financial projections that would reassure family and investors.
SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty provided mentoring, feedback, and moral support, serving as a sounding board as Elwood refined its concept and business strategy. The result was a successful launch: within three months, Elwood Restaurant won a “Best of Philly” award, received several stellar reviews, and was named one of Philadelphia’s top 25 restaurants in 2019.
