Story

For over 19 years, Kelly's Taylor Rental has been serving the greater Newburyport area with a wide range of rental options.

Included are event tents, tables, chairs, tableware and party supplies as well as lawn equipment, power tools, moving materials for do-it-yourselfers and concrete tools, earth-moving equipment and more for contractors.

As part of the Kelly family businesses, Kelly's Taylor Rental is both a family and a community institution, Kelly’s True Value (former name- Lunt & Kelly Hardware) has served Newburyport citizens for the past 66 years and is located adjacent to Kelly Taylor Rental. .

Founded by Kelly’s father, Edward Kelly, and the senior Kelly’s partner Malcolm Lunt, Pete Kelly first stuck his toes into the business while a student at the University of New Hampshire. “My father asked me if I’d help out a bit, so I did,” he states simply. Kelly ultimately earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and went on to explore various careers. His past pursuits include a stint as a civilian employee at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, a computer services consultant, and an on-air personality for a local radio station.

Pete and Kate

“But when Malcolm Lunt retired, my father asked me if I’d help him out in the store full time.” Kelly pauses, reflecting on his pivotal decision, which came with a condition. “I told my dad, ‘Okay, but I can only give you a couple of years.’” He laughs at his naivety and at his imposed timeline. “But of course,” Kelly says, “the business grew on me. I liked the idea of being my own boss, and I liked the idea of being here for my community. And the rest . . . is history.”

Pete Kelly’s delight with the way history has turned out is etched on his face, evident by the wide smile he is unable to suppress as he tells his story of ending up at the helm of the family business. He beams and his eyes sparkle when he shares that his two daughters, Lisa, who manages the hardware store and Kate, who operates the rental shop, have joined him. “They were inspired by their dad’s entrepreneurial spirit,” he jokes, self-deprecatingly. The ability to perpetuate the family business is very rewarding,” says Kelly.

Had to rent a generator due to storm. Even though they did not have power they were open and helped us using many al paperwork to process the rental. A life saver

I just hosted my daughters 16th Birthday party at a local golf course. I had to provide all of the party supplies for the event. I didn't hesitate to use Kelly Taylor Rental for my party. From gorgeous table linens, to an awesome cake stand - everything was perfect and SO convenient. Ask for Kate and get your party started, I'm so glad I did!

Rented us a car seat that expired 7 years ago (manufactured in '03, rented in 2016). SO dangerous. SO despicable.

Reserved a Budget truck weeks in advance and on moving day they call me and say they have no trucks in their lot. What is this, a Seinfeld episode?
