Another Lady’s Treasure to almost double in size

WICHITA — Tanna Debo-Loreg is almost doubling the size of her Another Lady’s Treasure consignment shop at Northwest Centre.

She’s been in 975 square feet at the center at 13th and Tyler for four years.

“It has just been fabulous,” Debo-Loreg says.

She says she has great consignors and customers.

“It just keeps coming through the door … and going out the door,” she says of merchandise.

The store sells clothing, handbags, jewelry and shoes.

Debo-Loreg says some of her consignors would like to offer antique pieces as well.

“We’ll just have to see,” she says. “I’m already having to put people off bringing clothes in.”

She’s running out of space.

The expansion, which will be ready in the new year, will create a much more open look. There will be new dressing rooms as well.

Stephanie Wiens of Occidental Management handled the deal for the new space.

Debo-Loreg says she doesn’t expect to expand again.

“I’ll still be able to manage to do everything myself,” she says. “It gets too big, and then it’s not fun.”

You don’t say

Volvo Rents purchases Wichita’s R-Quip Equipment Rental

UPDATED — Pennsylvania-based Volvo Rents, a division of Volvo Group, has purchased Wichita’s 9-year-old R-Quip Equipment Rental.

This is the second time Bob Richardson has sold an equipment rental company that caters to the construction industry.

His first, AAA Rent-All, he sold in 1997. The same brokerage company that approached him with that deal called again.

“The guy kind of called out of the blue and said, ‘Hey, do you remember me?’” says Troy Richardson, who is one of Bob Richardson’s three sons who planned to take over the business.

Bob Richardson initially told the broker he wasn’t interested, but the family eventually decided it was in everyone’s best interest to sell, in part because of the difficulty the sons would have faced financing the purchase.

Troy Richardson says there are a lot of positives with the sale to Volvo.
