Durante Rentals Opens Eighth Branch in Danbury, Conn.
Durante Rentals has opened the doors to its new Danbury, Conn., location, the company’s eighth store. While this is its first location in Connecticut, Durante Rentals has always serviced upper Connecticut and its contractors from its Brewster and Carmel branches in nearby Putnam County and lower Connecticut from its Flushing, Queens, facility.
The Danbury location will offer an assortment of tools and equipment for rent and retail for construction, industrial, landscape and homebuilding applications.
“We are excited to open our eighth location in eight years of business and our first location outside of New York state,” said co-founder John Durante. “Our entire Durante team has worked very hard to put this new spot on the map and we couldn’t be prouder of the job they have done. We thank the many Connecticut contractors who have already welcomed us with open arms.”
The Danbury yard is stockpiled with mini-excavators, boomlifts, generators, scissorlifts, forklifts, air compressors, landscaping equipment and more. The indoor showroom features chainsaws, power cutters, safety gear, diamond blades, traffic safety products, accessories and more. In addition to equipment and tool rentals, the Danbury location will also offer sales, parts, and service for all makes and models of equipment.
Durante Rentals was founded in 2009 by John Durante, Anthony Durante and Chris Jones.
