Description

Arvada Rent-Alls was founded by local Arvada businessman Art Tidwell in late 1963. The company began as a modest franchise boasting an inventory of just $15,000 in rental equipment. Over the years we have grown to become one of the Denver metro area's largest independent rental centers as well as one of the largest Stihl dealers in the state of Colorado. Art was respected as a humble man and was well liked by those around him. He based his business on honesty and integrity, and always gave his customers the benefit of the doubt. He had a sense of humor and loved to talk with his customers, much to the consternation of his wife, Georgianna, who often worked the front counter with him. Art was active as a Shriner, was a member of the Elks Lodge, was a past president of the regional American Rental Association and served on the Legislative Committee for the association as well. Although Art passed on in 1994 after a battle with cancer, the attributes that built the man are carried on in the business philosophies of Luke Heesacker, Randy Engstrom and Dave Erickson- the current owners of Arvada Rent-Alls. Take a look at the two photographs below. The first one was taken in August of 1964. Art is the man on the left. Ralston Road was being widened and re-paved at the time this was shot. This second photo was taken back in 2003, and shows the dedicated group of guys that have been employed with Arvada Rent-Alls for over 25 years each! (They are all still here ,too!) Starting on the top left is Audie McGarvey- mechanic, Eldon Condit- counter sales and mechanic, Dave Erickson- co-owner, Randy Engstrom- co-owner, Chris Redig- sales and Luke Heesacker- co-owner.
