Lake Ida Cleaners is a full-service dry cleaner in Delray Beach, Florida that offers professional cleaning and alteration services. Since 1987, Lake Ida Cleaners has continued as a staple in the Palm Beach community with renowned customer service and high-quality results.

Benjamin Gobitas and his wife Veronica are delighted to be the new owners of Lake Ida Cleaners. As a graduate of Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business and Trade and years of experience in sales and management, Benjamin is eager to represent such a reputable business in an area many call home.

Benjamin was searching for businesses to purchase and exploring financing options when his broker recommended Julia Robertson, an experienced Business Development Officer with FNB Small Business Finance. It was then that partnering with Julia to help purchase Lake Ida Cleaners became the perfect fit for Benjamin— a clean, clear, and fairly quick business acquisition with a flexible lending structure. As a first-time business owner, the SBA loan structure made it possible for him to not only purchase Lake Ida Cleaners but also have enough working capital to manage it as well.

From beginning to end, Julia broke down every part of the loan process and helped to make it easy to understand what was needed in each step. Benjamin remarked on his experience with Julia and FNB Small Business Finance:

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to partner with Julia and FNB Small Business Finance on financing my purchase of Lake Ida Cleaners. They were nothing but awesome to work with and I would gladly recommend them to other small business owners as well!

From Julia and the entire team at FNB, we wish Benjamin and Veronica all the success and growth in the future for Lake Idea Cleaners!
