Company that ‘invented tenting’ adds event planning
Michelle Thompson (at Mahaffey Event and Tent Rentals showroom at 4984 Outland Center Drive) said, “We’re really trying to elevate the business from just tenting, tables, chairs, linens and dishes to ... to full-service event planning.” (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian)
Mahaffey Event and Tent Rentals began in 1924, making circus tents and more. Now the Memphis firm has bought Holliday Events’ furnishings and supplies, with plans for “full-service event planning.”
