Lendmark Financial Services Charts Bold Expansion Across Florida
Lendmark Financial Services, a national leader in personalized lending solutions, is turning up the heat in the Sunshine State. The company has unveiled an ambitious plan to expand its retail branch network across North and Central Florida—starting with a new location in Ocala and more than 10 additional branches on the horizon in Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, and Tampa. This expansion is more than just bricks and mortar. It's a strategic move to bring accessible, relationship-based financial services to more Floridians—whether they're seeking personal loans, auto financing through independent dealerships, or retail credit solutions. A Growth Story Rooted in Relationships Celebrating its 29th anniversary this August, Lendmark has opened over 200 branches in the past five years alone, growing its national footprint to more than 525 locations across 22 states. With plans to add 25 more branches in 2025, the company's growth is fueled by data-driven site selection, disciplined execution, and a clear differentiator: people. 'We're ready to rise and shine—like only Lendmark can—as we bring our first-rate service excellence to communities across the Sunshine State,' said Bret Hyler, President and COO of Lendmark. 'Our growth is powered by empathy, trust, and the genuine relationships our loan consultants build with customers—relationships that often last well beyond the life of the loan.' With existing branches already serving the Brandon and Orlando areas, Lendmark is poised to welcome thousands of new customers across Florida over the next three to five years. Following Ocala, the next stop is St. Augustine, with more to follow. Better Together: Lending with Heart and Purpose At the core of Lendmark's business model is a simple but powerful idea: lending should work for both the customer and the lender. This philosophy drives a customer experience that's not only efficient but deeply personal. 'This is a business where our teams know you by name and greet you with a warm 'hello' at every visit,' Hyler added. 'We take time to understand the communities we serve before we open our doors—and we're excited to support individuals and small businesses alike.' Lendmark's loans help customers manage life's planned and unplanned expenses—from car repairs and home improvements to debt consolidation and personal care. Every loan comes with fixed terms and predictable payments designed to fit household budgets. Optional credit protection products, like Involuntary Unemployment Insurance (IUI), offer added peace of mind in the face of life's curveballs. Lendmark Serves: A Mission to Give Back Lendmark's commitment to community goes beyond financial services. Through its signature philanthropic initiative, Climb to Cure, the company has raised over $8.8 million to support CURE Childhood Cancer, Atlanta-based nonprofit funding lifesaving pediatric cancer research. By August 31, 2025, Lendmark aims to surpass $10 million in total contributions—marking a decade of impact and compassion from employees, partners, and customers nationwide. ________________________________________ About Lendmark Financial Services Founded in 1996, Lendmark Financial Services provides personal and household credit solutions tailored to help consumers navigate life's financial challenges.
