Industry Leader Extends Services into Tennessee

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Classic Party Rentals, the leading event rental company in the U.S., has announced the acquisition of Grand Events & Party Rentals, Tennessee’s top party rental company with locations in Memphis and Nashville. Classic Party Rentals’ growing network now includes 25 locations nationwide.

Grand Events, founded in 1990, was one of the first full-service party rental companies in Memphis, which eventually also expanded into Nashville, bringing a strong reputation for customer service to both markets. As a forerunner in the Tennessee market for years, Grand Events provides tent top to table top rentals for high-profile events including the CMT Music Video Awards, CMA Music Festival, Stanford-St. Jude PGA Golf Tournament, Freedom Awards and prominent clients such as Graceland, the Tennessee Titans, Memphis Grizzlies, Nashville Super Speedway, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and Music City Marathon.

“We feel very fortunate as we continue to be an important part of the events market in the mid-South, and we look forward to helping grow Classic’s presence throughout the region,” said Stan White, Founder and President of Grand Events. “Combining our resources ultimately means greater choices and greater resources, especially tenting, for clients in the region. Philosophically, Classic and Grand Events both care deeply about serving our customers, and we always want to be the first choice when clients think of a rental partner.”

Classic will continue to operate the business at the existing Memphis and Nashville locations. Stan White and Beth White, Co-Founders, will continue to lead and grow the business. Mark White, Co-Founder of the Memphis operation, will stay on as a consultant.

“Classic is excited to enter the vibrant and diverse Tennessee event rental business in a big way,” said John Campanelli, CEO of Classic Party Rentals. “Gaining access to the growing Memphis, Nashville, and surrounding markets is very compelling to us.”
