Case Study: Wash Land achieves laundromat growth and financing success with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Wash Land - Customer Case Study

Wash Land, owned by Chris Markeson in Akron, Ohio, is a laundromat business that needed help securing financing to expand. Working with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty, Markeson sought guidance on how to move forward after an initial bank turned him down for a loan.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty connected Markeson with mentor Peter Ryerson, who coached him through the lending process and recommended a different bank. That referral led to a successful loan approval, including a larger line of credit than requested, and Markeson went on to purchase two laundromats, with the first deal taking about a year and a half to close.
