This idea came about through an immediate family need. When my parents needed stripes in their business parking lot, they decided to invest in the equipment to do it themselves. I took the initiative to learn about what needed to be done, and my sister and I completed the project. I soon realized that this could be a service that I could offer throughout Greater Grand Rapids. As I go to different places throughout the city, I’ve noticed numerous parking lots that would benefit from striping services. While there may be businesses that currently exist that offer this service, I do not know of any Black-owned, teenage businesses offering this service.
