Looking Back on 80 Years of Service, and Ahead to the Next 80 Years

As we reflect on 2025, one thing is clear: this past year was defined by momentum, growth, and the people who make Tates Rents what it is. From the jobsites we supported across Idaho to the communities we showed up for, 2025 was another chapter in a story that has now spanned nearly eight decades.

Grateful for a Big Year

In 2025, we were proud to continue doing what we do best—supporting contractors, businesses, and homeowners with reliable equipment, dependable service, and local expertise. Throughout the year, our teams were involved in countless construction projects, seasonal work, infrastructure improvements, and community events across the state.

We celebrated internal milestones, recognized outstanding employee-owners, and continued strengthening the culture that makes Tates Rents unique. Being employee-owned means every delivery, every rental, and every customer interaction matters on a personal level—and that showed in the way our teams stepped up again and again this year.

We also continued investing in our customers through better systems, improved processes, and a renewed focus on education and safety. Whether it was helping a contractor scale up for a big project or guiding a homeowner through their first rental, 2025 reinforced why local relationships remain at the heart of our business.

Building Toward the Future: Twin Falls and Beyond

One of the most exciting developments of 2025 and on has been the construction of our new store in Twin Falls. This location represents more than just a new building—it’s a commitment to better serving Southern Idaho with expanded inventory, improved access, and the same trusted Tates Rents service customers expect.

As construction progresses, we’re looking forward to bringing new jobs, new equipment, and new opportunities to the Twin Falls area. It’s a major step forward as we continue growing thoughtfully and strategically across the state.

Celebrating 80 Years in 2026

Looking ahead, 2026 marks a milestone we’re incredibly proud of: 80 years of serving Idaho. Since 1946, Tates Rents has grown alongside the communities we serve, adapting to new industries, new technologies, and new generations of builders—without losing sight of our core values.

Our 80th anniversary will be a time to celebrate:

• – The customers who have trusted us for decades
• – The employee-owners who take pride in every job
• – The communities that have supported our growth

Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing stories from our history, celebrating our people, and recognizing what it truly means to be built on grit and owned with pride.

What’s Next

Beyond the anniversary and the Twin Falls opening, we’re excited about what’s ahead:

• – Continued investment in our fleet and facilities
• – More educational content and resources for customers
• – Deeper community involvement and partnerships
• – Ongoing focus on safety, service, and innovation

As we close the book on 2025, we do so with gratitude—and as we open the next chapter, we’re energized by what lies ahead. Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to building the next 80 years together.
