It Started With Ted.

Ted Hermesman Sr. opened Ted’s True Value Rental in Durango in 1971. The idea was simple: have the right tools, keep them running, and treat people the way you’d want to be treated.

Three generations later, we’re still family owned, and we’re still here because of you. Founder’s Day is our chance to honor the man who started it all and thank the customers who kept it going. We’ll have the grill going, the cars out on the lot, and the whole crew here to say hello. Come see us.
