Texaco Service Station franchise in Virginia: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Texaco Service Station in Virginia have taken 9 SBA loans since 1991 (average $527,466)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 13.6% is the better guide.
