March 1977 - Open 1
month
Price per gallon of gas .56 cents
In searching for a rental location in
1977 we learned through the City of Nashua that
due to zoning regulations (at the time) we could only open a
free-standing rental operation
in a GI district (General Industrial). We found this building
with a very small lot and
a railroad spur that shook the building several times a day when the
train passed by.
Over the years we were able to expand by purchasing the gas station
property (shown behind the
building in the photo), and then the railroad property (that ran
just several feet to the left of
the photo. There are two buildings on the property, one used
for storage and this building
that continues to be our rental office to this day. The property now
encompasses over
three quarters of an acre with over 600 feet of frontage on a main
artery (Rte 111). Again,
nothing fancy, but which enables us to give our customers great
service.

Opening day was
February 1, 1977 and with much anticipation our first customer
walked through the door. Our first rental was the shiny new
AMC Pacer, part of six such new AMC's that comprised our
entire rental fleet. Our success was built upon hard work,
exceeding customer expectations, and experience. We have offered the
same service for over three decades and will continue to do so for many years to come.
