Small Business Spotlight: Another Family Business That Keeps Growing
Service Unlimited, a tenured and faithful lawncare business serving Story City and the surrounding areas for over 35 years. Karl and Doug Ostrem started the business before it was purchased by James and Carly Nichols in 2019.
Over the years, they have helped their customers with painting, cleaning, lawn care, and more. More recently, they have focused on lawn care, pest control, and mowing.
The Nichols appreciate being able to own the business and work for themselves. They also love being outdoors and working with the great people in our community. In James's words, "Service Unlimited has been a part of this community for many years and we love being able to continue what Karl and Doug started."
The Nichols began working with Reliance State Bank when they acquired the business in 2019. They say, "The purchase of the business would not have been possible without RSB. They also helped with the purchase of our home and most recently the opening of my daughters checking account. They have given advice, options, and solutions to all our financial plans and needs."
