Posted at 10:58 pm in closing

This houseware, tool & equipment rental buisiness has been on the corner of Knox Abbott and 9th for as long as I can remember, apparently some 40+ years in all. You can read a 2025 local profile of them in West Metro News, but apparently the time has come to close this location. I don't see any online news about the circumstances, but the firm remains in business with a Two Notch Road location. I never went to this storefront, but the Two Notch one was able to repair my lawn mower a number of times.
