In 2015 I rented a pumpkin blow up balloon pop and the train for my sons first birthday from READ amusements. They brought the pumpkin there with no cover over the blower and a 2 year old stuck his fingers in the blower ruining my party. The family of the boy is now suing read amusement and now in turn read amusement is suing me saying it was my responsibility. How was I suppose to know how a blower on a inflatable machine is supposed to look. Now I have to get a lawyer and waste more time and money. I would think twice before renting anything from this company!!!

Doesn't seem like he knows how to run a business. Hiring people when he doesn't have hours to give out, even offering full-time despite not having hours for part-time work. Waste of time. Clearly he's running a business, but based off what I experienced, I don't think this should go unheard.
Edit: Had it at 2 stars but brought it down to 1 because owner's wife is harassing me over the review, even coming into my workplace and arguing with me over this. Says the incident before was a "miscommunication", which is odd because this "miscommunication" stemmed

This is a great store. What a gem. Definitely not a Halloween pop up store. Great selection of kids and adult costumes and accessories. They also have rental costumes that you won't find anywhere else.Their staff was helpful as well.

Years ago I rented a Santa Claus costume for my daughters birthday party in February. It was a great surprise all the kids thought they got to see Santa on his day off. The costume was perfect.
