The Hireage business started one day in 1971. Mr. Grant was delivering goods in Vineyard Town and saw a truck from a rental company R.E. Taylors delivering chairs and tables for the party for which he was delivering liquor. An idea dawned on him that he could operate a one-stop shop for these items. Having a good relationship with your supplier's helps and it was the relationship with Bobby Kelly of Lewis Kelly and Sons Ltd., which allowed the then Kingston Wholesale Liquors to start up in the Hireage business.
