Charlotte, NC — Classic Party Rentals, the leading event rental company in the United States, has acquired ACE Party Rentals in Charlotte, North Carolina. With the acquisition of ACE, Classic Party Rentals expands its presence in Charlotte.

ACE Party Rentals, founded in 1997, is known as a leading tenting and special event rentals provider in the greater Charlotte area, providing support for high-profile community events such as Queenscup Steeplechase, Latin Festival, and the National MS Bike to the Beach.

Christian Eastman, the founder of ACE Party Rentals, will lead the combined company as the General Manager and will be supported by Scott Fletcher, Assistant General Manager and Christine Young, Classic’s Director of Sales.

Classic will integrate ACE’s operations into its existing location in Charlotte. Classic’s facility includes a large showroom, convenient customer access, and client meeting space. Combining ACE’s tenting, table and chair capability with Classic’s specialty linen and tabletop expertise provides clients with more choices and deeper inventory quantities.

“Charlotte is an exciting and growing market,” said John Campanelli, CEO of Classic Party Rentals. “Classic made its initial commitment to this community last August when we purchased Carolina Party Plus. Now, with the addition of ACE Party Rentals, we have expanded our capabilities in Charlotte, with the goal of providing high-quality, full-service event rentals. Christian Eastman was raised and educated in North Carolina and has tremendous understanding and knowledge of the local market. We are excited to have him lead the Charlotte branch of Classic Party Rentals.”

Christian Eastman says, “Being a small business owner, while fun, can be challenging. ACE clients were always asking us to expand our capabilities. Merging with Classic immediately benefits ACE clients, as well as Classic’s clients. We are now part of a bigger network and will have support from our sister stores in the Southeast. I am very excited to join the Classic team and contribute to the company’s growth in Charlotte and the Southeast region.”
