The latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:
Taylor Rental on the move after 41 years
Taylor True Value Rental, which has been loaning everything from party tents to inflatables to intimidating yard equipment since 1984, is packing up soon and moving to 51 Fremont St. in Needham. The business, which also fills propane tanks, is currently located at 26 Washington St., near the Papa Razzi restaurant.
Owners George and Nanette LaRochelle earlier this year received the Needham Zoning Board of Appeals OK for a special permit allowing their operation in the 7,500 sq. ft. building with less than the number of parking spaces typically required. The Board of Appeals recap describes the applicants desire for this space as a more efficient building layout and for its proximity to Rte. 128 (we reached out to Taylor Rental for further comment but haven’t heard back as of this posting). A social media post by one of the owners indicated a mid-April move being planned.

Sugaring NYC headed to Church Square
Plans are in the works for a business called Sugaring NYC to move into 25 Church Square, most recently home to pop-up Gray Heron.
Sugaring NYC might sound like a chocolate or candy shop, but it’s actually a hair removal business. “Once you try Sugaring, we bet you never go back to waxing,” the business teases on its website.
Also: “Treat your bikini area the same as you would treat your face.” Oh my.
Sugaring NYC has dozens of locations across the country, including on Newbury Street in Boston.
