Charlotte lawn business moves to Belmont
Making a decision to leave the city where his parents started Certified Lawn Mowers in their backyard almost 50 years ago was not easy for Efren Romero. But just weeks after closing in South Charlotte and reopening in Belmont, Romero and his partner, Chelo Delgado, are confident they made the right choice.
Certified Lawn Mowers is located at 124 Hubbard St., just off Wilkinson Boulevard, in Belmont, selling a variety of outdoor power equipment and also servicing equipment for their customers.
Romero and Delgado put a lot of emphasis on the service side of their business.
"What you get with us that you don't get from the large chain stores is you also get the service," Romero said.
Speaking at a recent Belmont Rotary Club meeting, Romero proudly introduced Chelo Delgado as a young man who began work at Certified Lawn Mowers part-time while still a high school student. He later became manager of the company and now is a partner.
The business provides products and services for commercial and residential customers. Products include riding and push mowers, leaf and snow blowers, weed eaters and brush cutters, tillers, chainsaws, hedge clippers and edgers, aerators and more. Services include small engine repair, blade sharpening and warranty work.
Major brands offered include Husqvarna, Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, Gravely, Honda engine and others.
