HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Construction Rental Inc. held a ribbon cutting and grand opening Wednesday morning for its newest location at 1402 Faubion St. in Hutchinson, marking the company’s fifth store overall and second in Kansas.
The event included lunch, refreshments and giveaways for attendees. The store is now open to the public Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Owner/President Marynell Popst said the company offers a wide range of construction equipment rentals and tool sales, serving both professional contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners.
“We rent construction equipment and sell construction tools and supplies, anything from safety equipment for contractors, like harnesses for fall protection and caution tape, to chainsaws and trimmers for the homeowner doing yard work,” Popst said.
Construction Rental Inc. also offers a weekend rental option that allows customers to pick up equipment after 3 p.m. on Friday and return it Monday for the price of a one-day rental.
Available services at the Hutchinson location include rentals for air compressors, air tools, backhoes and loaders, compactors and rammers, concrete tools, convention equipment, electric tools, forklifts, generators, heaters, jacks, lawn and garden equipment, lifts and scaffolding, saws, skid steers and trenchers.
Popst said Hutchinson was an ideal fit for the company’s expansion.
“We looked around at different locations, and Hutchinson was a good market with a lot of activity, a lot of contractors and a lot of homeowners who do their own projects,” she said. “We liked the size of the market and really knew it was a good fit for our personality.”
Construction Rental Inc. also operates locations in Salina, Kansas; Grand Island and North Platte, Nebraska; and St. Joseph, Missouri.
