The Story of Waldridge Enterprises, LLC
​
I have always wanted to run my own business. I was always starting something new. As a young girl I started a new youth club for our small town. Later, I started a scholarship foundation for my high school and a community Facebook page with over 7,000 members. As I retired from my engineering career and began a new chapter in my life, I wanted to build a business that would provide for my family’s future. As a woman business owner, I also want to be a role model for young women pursuing business ownership.
We love to support our community and found that we could do that through renovating blithe properties. The excitement of revitalizing an old, worn out house is exhilarating to me. The engagement of friends and neighbors in the process helps to fulfill the desire to provide that spirit of community.
Our company is continuing to grow and we want to provide work opportunities for community members and partner with our neighboring small businesses. We want to develop a business that will not only provide for our family financially, but also be a change agent that continues to improve the area in which we live.
