Hunter Street Partners, a Minneapolis-based alternative investment management firm, expanded its All-Star Rents platform through the acquisition of two equipment rental facilities that focus on the sale, rental and servicing of light equipment. Building on the initial acquisition in September 2020 of All-Star Equipment Rental in Naples, FL, the All-Star platform now operates three locations in Florida in Sarasota, Orlando and Naples.

The All-Star platform rents, sells and services equipment, including forklifts, boom lifts, mini-excavators, skid steers, scissor lifts and small equipment. The firm serves a range of commercial end-markets, including construction, renovation, landscaping, energy, milling and agriculture companies throughout Central and South Florida.

“Many customers are taking on construction, renovation and infrastructure projects at breakneck speeds, resulting in continued demand for light equipment. All-Star’s ability to provide its customers with the equipment needed quickly and efficiently is a competitive advantage of the platform relative to major operators in the industry that cater their services to large general contractors,” Neal Johnson, CEO and CIO of Hunter Street Partners, said.

“We’re glad to see All-Star’s clients continue to win projects throughout Florida, and we believe that Hunter Street’s investment in the platform will help provide better and more efficient service as we continue to grow the customer base,” Andrew Platt, a partner at Hunter Street Partners, said. “All-Star has built a strong reputation amongst contractors in South and Central Florida. We look forward to strengthening this reputation as we scale our platform.”
