Industry Leader Enters Washington D.C. Market, Adds New Locations in Georgia and the Carolinas

February 28, 2008

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Classic Party Rentals, the leading event rental company in the U.S., has announced the simultaneous acquisitions of Capital Party Rentals (Dulles, Virginia), Event Rentals (Chantilly, Virginia), Special Events Rentals (Raleigh, North Carolina), and Low Country Event Rentals (Hilton Head, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia). Classic Party Rentals’ growing network now includes 34 locations nationwide.

“We are thrilled to be able to better serve the greater Washington, D.C. market, strengthen our presence in Raleigh, North Carolina, and enter the markets of Hilton Head, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia,” said John Campanelli, CEO of Classic Party Rentals. “Our East Coast network is substantially enhanced with this acquisition. We look forward to working with our newest clients and employees.”

Capital Party Rentals and Event Rentals have supported a variety of high-profile events and clients in the greater Washington D.C. area, including the Republican National Committee, Friends of the National Zoo, and the University of Maryland. Special Events Rentals consistently works with North Carolina State University, the Carolina Hurricanes, and the RBC Center. Low Country Event Rentals works with many high profile clients, including the Savannah College of Art and Design and Sea Pines Resort.

Each location has a strong team with a reputation for excellent customer service, both in the office and in the field. Combining these companies with Classic’s existing East Coast network is expected to yield significant benefits to clients. Each new location has a Classic sister-store located within a few hours drive, allowing for access to additional inventory and resources.

“Joining the Classic Party Rentals network makes perfect strategic sense given our complementary footprints in the East,” said John Moran, principal seller. “Clients only stand to gain.”

Classic will re-brand and continue to operate the businesses at the existing locations in Raleigh, Hilton Head and Savannah. In Washington D.C., the Event Rentals and Capital Party Rentals teams will work together to provide greater client service and options. Dave Stuckey (Capital), Dave Painter (Event Rentals) and Mike Davis (Low Country) will continue to lead their respective locations.
