For some time, our dad, Gene, had wanted to own his own business. In March of 1980, he stumbled upon a Taylor Rental Center in Orange that was going out of business. Dad convinced our mother, Patty, that this was a good opportunity. They took a 2-day training course, were handed the keys to the front door and told, "Good luck, you'll be fine".
They worked hard and the family business quickly grew. In 1984, they moved to our current location at 304 Boston Post Rd. in Orange. In 1990, Mom and Dad acquired the Taylor Rental in Branford. In 1994, they moved it from the top of the Branford Hill to its current address at 174 Cedar St. In so doing, they tripled the size of the building and the business has grown ever since. My brothers, Matt and Tim and I took over the business in 2003 when our parents retired. The transition was challenging, but we hit the ground running and have never looked back. 2004 saw an exterior and showroom makeover at the Orange store. We went even further in 2009 by adding a 5700 square foot warehouse and completely changed the exterior landscaping in Orange.
In keeping with our history of changing and growing, we acquired the Taylor Rental in Monroe on June 4th 2010. That store has been a staple in the local community for over 30 years and will be a great addition to our family of rental stores. Our goal is to continue offering great service but with a larger and more diverse product offering than before.
