Clean Sweep started in 1992 with one car wash in Lexington. After 25 years, Ken Latrell has grown the operation to 8 locations.

“The lenders at AFB listen to my concerns; If it’s a priority for me, it’s a priority to the bank. They value me as a person and they value you my business.  I am not just a customer to them.” — Dr. Kathi Rosenbaum, DMD

“Lots of banks and investors are scared of boats. They’re mobile—hard to secure, they can still fall prey to piracy and theft… but when they are bought as a business asset rather than an ego trip they are far less frightening. AFB quickly understood that.” — Jim Lacy
