Rent-All of Boston, Inc.

Introduction: Company History Rent-All of Boston, Inc. was established in 1959 as a United Rent-All franchise by the late Bob Harris and his wife, Stasia Harris, with initial assistance from Bob's father, Ben, and his son, Bob Jr. In the early days, it was primarily a one- and two-man operation, carrying a full line of rental inventory, from party to light contractor and homeowner's equipment. In 1964, the franchise relationship with United Rent-All ended, and Rent-All of Boston was created. The location of the business was at 578 River Street Mattapan on the first floor of a wooden four-decker building, approximately 800 square feet. The tables and chairs were stored in the three-car garage at the Harris' home. Tandem bicycles, camping trailers and camping tents were part of the initial inventory. The wash and storage area for the entire party equipment line was a 9'x14' room. We used to bottle carpet shampoo from a 55-gallon drum and clean off equipment on the sidewalk. On November 11, 1978, we relocated to 1161 Adams Street in Lower Mills, the present address of the corporate headquarters and tool rental. The building was 4,800 square feet, with what seemed to be an ample room for expansion. In the winter of 1982-1983, the idea of an expansion became a reality and a 4,000-square-foot addition was built; totally, it's 8,800 square feet. In April of 1982, the business became incorporated, all the divisions of the company were rapidly expanding. In early 1986, the party and event division moved to its current location at 367 Neponset Avenue in Neponset Circle, Dorchester.
