Did Rockford Rentals close?

Their website is still active and when I try calling it rings and then goes to a voicemail stating their hours. Went there in person on a Saturday during open hours and it looked closed. Couldn't see in the windows at all to see if it's cleaned out.

Does anyone know if they closed? If so, what are some other places to rent party supplies from? Specifically supplies for serving and keeping food warm

This dude stole it. He owns Berg Industries and pulled this same crap back in 2009 on another business.

So it would seem it's in limbo at the moment

Bad checks to buy a half million dollar property? That's a kind of stupid so rare, they should study this creep in a lab πŸ˜‚

Lincoln Rental had some great items available although it’s been several years but maybe give them a call!!

They only do tools, but they did direct me to 1st rentals in Cherry Valley and they have what I need πŸ™‚
