<p>It all started in 1976, when Wayne Stringer opened his first rental store in Jacksonville, FL. Shortly after opening, he hired his new son-in-law, Tom Nickell, to come work for him. Tom excelled in the rental industry and eventually became the regional manager for a large national rental chain covering the southeast.</p><p>In 1998, he decided to get back to his roots of operating his own company. He realized that the national rental chains were doing a great job serving the larger national and regional construction companies, but no one was catering to the local contractors and do-it-yourselfers. With that in mind, he opened the first Nickell Rental location in Newnan, GA.</p><p>In 2000, Nickell expanded into the southeast Atlanta market with the acquisition of a location in Griffin. While Nickell Rental now has one of the largest independent rental fleets in the southeast, we remain a family-owned business that values ethics, our employees, and serving the same customers that made us successful. </p>. <ul><br><li>Aerators</li><br><li>Aerial Lifts</li><br><li>Backhoes</li><br><li>Compressors</li><br><li>Loaders</li><br><li>Pressure Washers</li><br><li>Tractors</li><br><li>Trenchers</li><br></ul>
