In August 2009, RDO Equipment Co. acquired B&B Heavy Equipment Sales & Rentals, Inc. With the acquisition, the company was renamed B&B Equipment Rental by RDO Equipment Co. In the past 2 years, our rental business strategy has gained momentum, and we realized our customers were confused by the combined name.
To avoid ongoing confusion, our name changes to RDO Equipment Co. - Lakeside.
RDO Equipment Co. - Lakeside will continue to support rental and rental support activities. In addition, the store will become a full service John Deere and Vermeer construction equipment dealership. To further support our rental business, we have also expanded our rental strategy by creating a new rental-focused sub-brand within RDO Equipment Co.: RDO Rents
Looking ahead, you’ll see the RDO Rents logo on our machines, in advertising, and at our locations (including RDO Equipment Co. - Lakeside).
The RDO Rents brand will initially be implemented in all Southern Construction and Southwest Agriculture stores.
