Leroy Springs and Company Revenue and Competitors

Originally established in 1938 by the renowned Col. Elliott White Springs and named in honor of his father, Leroy Springs & Company (LSC) provides recreation and education opportunities and facilities in the communities of Fort Mill, Chester and Lancaster, SC. LSC initially administered the Leroy Springs Memorial Scholarship program, providing interest free loans to promising college bound students in need of financial assistance. In 1953, LSC accepted responsibility for a new mission – to assume ownership and management of the myriad of recreational facilities which had been assembled by Springs Mills for the workers and community to enjoy. The portfolio included swimming pools, bowling alleys, golf courses, Springs Park -- a recreational park on the Catawba River -- skating rinks, tennis courts, ball fields and Springmaid Beach in Myrtle Beach. Over the years, LSC upgraded and expanded its offerings in the ‘Mission Zone’ communities of Chester, Lancaster and Fort Mill, while improving facilities at Springmaid Beach and adding Springmaid Mountain, a mountain retreat on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Spruce Pine, NC. In 1995, LSC assumed a new challenge in accepting responsibility for the ownership and operation of the Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill. The Greenway is a 2,100-acre natural preserve dedicated to low-impact recreation and the preservation of historic and natural resources. Over the last 20 years, the Greenway has developed more than 36 miles of trails and played host to hundreds of thousands of visitors. The scope of its offerings grows with each passing year. Today, the Leroy Springs & Company portfolio includes the Anne Springs Close Greenway, Springs Golf courses, Springmaid Mountain and the FLYERS Afterschool Program.
