Rejuvenations Salon & Day Spa, Plymouth, MA
“When I started Rejuvenations 10 years ago, SEED loaned me the money to start the business, things went so well we paid the loan off early. When the opportunity came up to buy our own building and triple our space , my first thought was to call SEED. I am so glad I did, this was a significantly larger project, requiring a full building rehab…we turned a building that was previously a bank, then an Auto Supply store into a full service Salon and Day Spa…not an easy feat, and not cheap,” stated owner Donna McDonough of Rejuvenations Salon & Day Spa.
“SEED was there for us the whole way, so supportive, guiding us as we went through the very long and arduous process of a major building rehab and move, they connected us with a great local bank who knew the area and could really appreciate what we wanted to do for us and the local area. I am a walking endorsement for SEED, when I hear of small business owners trying to expand I always suggest they contact SEED. The people are great (Lisa Holmes is the BEST), they truly care about you and your success, I can’t say enough about how they have helped us get into our new space.”
