Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on June 22.
Jeff Valley started his business, Valley Tent Rental, soon after he graduated from Goodrich High School. The idea stemmed from a comment his father made.
“We rented a tent for my graduation party,” says Valley. “My father said, ‘You should buy a tent and start renting it out’ and I did.”
What started as a side job with two tents and a trailer has turned into a big operation 25 years later.
“After few years I left my job working in telephone fiber optics and did this full time,” says Valley. “Four years ago the owner of Ford’s Party Rental was going out of business and we purchased the business.”
Now, the owner of both businesses employs around 30 people during the summer months between the two businesses and continues to grow.
“I found a need and it’s worked out great,” says Valley.
