REDDY RENTS

In December 1962, Bill Jasper and John (Jack) Fitzgerald formed the J&F Corporation and began doing business as J&F Reddy Rents at 4911 Excelsior Blvd. at Quentin. The company started as a general tool rental store, and grew to rent construction equipment such as air compressors and Bobcat tractors. Success led to further expansion into rental trucks and party goods, and the building next door was purchased to accommodate the latter. Further growth led to a location on Hiawatha Ave. in Minneapolis.

In 1989, the company's tool department moved to 3320 Republic Avenue, and the company now concentrates on the rental of trucks, cars, and general rental equipment.

The special events end of the business was sold to Aarcee Party and Tent Rental in January 1998.
