Our Story
Owners Gary Threatt and Nathan Rankin
In the 1980’s I went to work for a restoration company. One of our everyday jobs was using pressure washers to clean the sides of buildings. I hung from Bozeman Chairs off of many tall buildings such as Little Rock Central High School and Dunbar Magnet Middle School in Little Rock, Arkansas. My introduction to the mighty pressure washer started there.
In 1995 I got an offer to join a pressure washer dealership in the Little Rock area as a sales rep for the southwest Arkansas territory. I have always been a salesman. So I took the offer and went to work. Within five years I had beat all the sales records of that company and built a huge territory, a very successful one.
I had learned to say what I could do for a customer, and do it. I never had fancy high pressure sales pitches. I just showed the customer what we offered and assured them that I would be there when they needed me. And I didn’t disappoint them.
I was transferred to Northwest Arkansas in 2005 and had to hit the ground running
as the former salesman had left it in utter shambles with very little sales. Within a year I had tripled what was given to me and never looked back.
The Fayetteville Shale natural gas field was taking off and a boom was happening in Arkansas.
I was blessed to get a part of it. I doubled all records that I had ever set and there are records set by me at that company that will never be broken. Its very difficult for one sales person to sell over a million dollars a year in pressure washers and chemicals. And yet I did.
As they say all good things come to an end and the gas well industry began to die in 2012.
A year or so later I was in Fort Smith, Arkansas and the Lord spoke to me clearly. He told me to go see Bob Settle Sales Company and see if he would want to sell me his business. So then and there I did. Bob stared a hole in me for a few minutes after I asked him and then he said YES!
I knew I had to have someone to do what I couldn’t do. I am an outside salesman and greatly needed someone to run the office, shop, inventory, mixing chemicals and handling customers. I knew that man was Nathan Rankin. So I called him and asked him if he wanted to partner with me on the crazy endeavor. He did! I am very grateful for him and all he does. Without him we would never have made it.
We opened for business on March 3, 2014
and once again I hit the ground running. I planted a large territory that went from Little Rock to McAlester Oklahoma and from Idabel Oklahoma to Missouri. And its still growing.
We have had our ups and downs, learned a lot, prayed a lot, suffered a lot and triumphed a lot. But all in all God has been so good to us and here almost eleven years later we are still setting records and making sales happen.
