History
Established in 1958.
In 1958 Wayne Hooks, a native Charlottean, decided he wanted to own his own business. When the opportunity presented itself to buy a small collection of equipment that could be rented, he decided to take the risk.
Charlotte Chair and Equipment Rentals began with that dream. He and his wife, Sue Hooks worked tirelessly to see the dream fulfilled. Their first clients included, Charlotte Country Club, Ivey's Department Store and Charlotte Motor Speedway. This initial business along with their commitment and dedication to great customer service and quality products laid the ground work for the company's future success.
For 25 years it operated with 2 divisions of rental equipment servicing the Charlotte market. The party division grew to the point of needing to be a separate operation and the Party Reflections brand was introduced into the market place.
Currently we have expanded our operations beyond Charlotte to include stores in Raleigh, NC and Columbia, SC.
