About Redi Rental
The story of Redi Rental begins with Lloyd and Mary Mitchell and their decision to open a Taylor Rental-Muskegon in 1968. The store was one of the earliest franchises in the Midwest granted by Taylor Rental Corporation. The Mitchells successfully operated the business for over ten years at 1250 Getty Street, Muskegon. Reaching retirement age, Mr. Mitchell and his wife decided to sell the business.
Jim VanderWier became the new owner on January 2, 1979 and in the years to come the company experienced steady growth as a result of its continually increasing inventory and dedication to excellent customer service. In 1988 Jim purchased a second store on the corner of Beechtree and Grant in Grand Haven which is still in operation today. In 1991 the decision was made to drop the Taylor Rental franchise and the company was rebranded as Redi Rental. The following year the location at 2232 Glade Street in Muskegon was opened and this is where it remains to this day.
On April 1, 2024 longtime employee, Matt Cregg, purchased the company with a vision to continue to be West Michigan’s premier special event, party, and equipment rental headquarters. Matt worked for Redi Rental for over 25 years before taking on the role of owner and is committed to the company's continued growth and excited for the opportunity to serve our communities. Today Redi Rental is made up of both the Grand Haven and Muskegon locations and we are just as dedicated to quality products and top-notch customer service as we were when we opened our doors over 40 years ago.
