THE CLIENT

For over 40 years, this family-owned market and restaurant has been serving up deli favorites, homemade meals, and fresh groceries to the local community. Founded by two brothers in the 1980s, the business has become a go-to destination for both dine-in and takeout meals in Delaware County, PA.

THE CLIENT’S CHALLENGE

On a busy Friday afternoon, the restaurant’s commercial oven unexpectedly went down, jeopardizing weekend operations and threatening to interrupt service to their loyal customer base. With multiple kitchen vendors involved and a tight timeline, the owners needed to move quickly.

They didn’t just need a new oven; they needed fast, reliable financing to make the purchase happen without straining their cash flow.

THE APEX COMMERCIAL CAPITAL SOLUTION

$100,000 • Equipment Finance • New Oven & Kitchen Upgrades

The business was referred to Apex Commercial Capital by a former banking relationship manager who had recently joined Apex parent company, Firstrust Bank. The owners were looking for competitive terms, a smooth process, and fast answers, and Apex delivered.

We offered 100% financing on the equipment and approved the deal quickly, helping the business secure a new oven and additional kitchen items with limited downtime in service.

FINAL RESULTS

With Apex’s support, the restaurant avoided a major service disruption and upgraded its kitchen without dipping into working capital. The fast approval and full financing gave the owners exactly what they needed: peace of mind and the ability to keep their focus on what they do best: serving great food to their community.
