Hertz Equipment Rental Corp. will celebrate the grand re-opening of its Gainesville, Va., general rental facility on Thursday, Aug. 16. The event will take place at the store between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and will showcase the facility’s renovated showroom and newly expanded product line, which includes small tools, construction equipment and contractors’ supplies.

The grand re-opening of HERC Gainesville is part of the company’s general rental program expansion, which HERC began in 2003 in support of its commitment to increase services and products for small, medium and large contractors as well as homeowners.

HERC Gainesville offers a broad range of new products, including roto-tillers, floor sanders and buffers, trenchers, paint sprayers, ladders, pumps and scaffolding. In addition to the newly expanded product line, HERC Gainesville still offers a wide assortment of construction and industrial equipment from manufacturers such as Case, Genie, Ingersoll-Rand, JLG, John Deere, Wacker and Stihl.

HERC management will participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the event, vendor demonstrations and literature will be available, a free lunch will be provided and giveaways will be offered on-site while supplies last.
