Jerandan Portable Toilets changes owners

Information submitted

For nearly 12 years, Jerandan Portable Toilets, under the ownership of Jerry Spoor, Andy Gearhart and Dan Chiles, has been the supplier of portable toilet rentals in Van Wert County and the surrounding area.  Company officials prided themselves on being as dependable, honest and hard working as possible and, in return, local residents allowed the company to serve all of their portable restroom rental needs – for which the Jerandan is forever thankful.

With customer support, the company was able to grow its business to a level never anticipated.  Although wonderful, it has also become a “double-edged” sword. For three middle-aging men with seven lovely and active daughters, their time needs to be “re-directed”.

Now, Jerandan Portable Toilets will be under new ownership. Nathan LeFever has taken over all operations of portable toilet rentals as of July 1. Jerandan’s former owners are confident there will be a smooth ownership and operations transition, but have agreed to assist in an “advisory” role for the near future.  All rentals scheduled will be honored, while all units currently on jobsites will remain there.  The name will stay the same, but new contact information is as follows:

Jerandan Portable Toilets, Nathan LeFever, head of operations/owner, call 260.849.9183 or email jerandan.portajohns@gmail.com.

Jerandan Portable Toilets hopes local residents will continue to go to the company for all of their rental needs.  For more information, comments or concerns, contact any of the following:

Nathan LeFever at the above contact numbers; Jerry Spoor, 419.203.6315; Andy Gearhart, 419.203.2835; or Dan Chiles, 260.403.0893.
