September is a significant month for Karen Denton, CEO of KSC Commercial Cleaning Service, headquartered on South Avenue in Wilkinsburg. The 1st commemorates when she started her business, the 7th celebrates her birthday, and September 2002 marks when she had her first of four aneurysms.
“21 years surviving, 13 years in business, and I just turned 63,” said Denton. “The name of my business is KSC, which stands for Karen’s Second Chance. I thought the name of the company was for me, but it was for people like me who need a second chance. Every time I wanted to quit, God gave me more contracts or more people. Whichever one I needed, he provided, so I kept going. Now I know that I’m in my purpose. I think that’s why he saved me, for all the business owners and families that my company helps.”
Today, KSC has approximately 18 employees and contractors that provide general cleaning services to small and large office buildings, apartment complexes, public and retail establishments, and more. A few years after starting her own company, she turned to the Wilkinsburg Community Development Corporation (WCDC) to help shape her entrepreneurship skills.
