About Us
Our Story
Pacific Party Canopies was started 1987 in Anacortes, Washington. Greg Greenfield worked in the equipment rental business his parents started. Along came Jim Baker after his Navy service. Together Greg and Jim became partners in this new “Rent-A Tent” business. Jim recalls “We had our stuff stored in unheated garage with one calendar on the wall, a desk in the corner and an answering machine.” Steady growth, dedicated long-term employees, and quality service has brought us to what you see today. Pacific Party Canopies endured through the 2020 pandemic. Greg Greenfield retired selling Pacific Party Canopies in July 2022 to Michael McDaniel. Jim Baker retired selling his company Stellar Events to Pacific Party Canopies in 2024. Michael grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and learned about business delivering newspapers and mowing lawns. Warren Buffett said his childhood delivering newspapers, it “gave you lots of time to think about business”. Michael developed a passion for business. It started with borrowed $8,000 initial investment through pure determination and a lot of luck. In 2012 Michael purchased Consumer Rental which began in 1973 and is now known as Ideal-Rent-All. If all goes according to plan at Pacific Party Canopies, we’re preparing to celebrate over 38 glorious years as a successful, respected event rental product and services provider. We’ll continue to earn our customer’s business – and their appreciation – each and every day. That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it!
