25 YEARS IN BUSINESS
|
THE BEGINNINGGary's East Coast Service started in March of 1994, by Gary and Angela Petitti. They worked 24/7 out of the garage of their home! From the beginning their idea was to create a company that focused on customer service, professionalism and old fashioned family values.

A FEW MONTHS LATER
Their first employee, Jay, was hired with Joe not far behind. It was with this small team that the company really started to grow, needing to look for an office and shop space.
THE NAME
Gary and Angie named the business Gary's (small and personal) East Coast (big and professional), Service (as its what we do) to reflect the philosophy for their new business.
SMALL BUT STEADY
Gary set out to form relationships with his customers, many of which are still customers today. From those relationships came referrals and soon Gary and Angie were hiring more techs, and were looking to move the booming business out of their home and into a commercial setting.
BECOMING CERTIFIED
In 2004, Gary's East Coast Service officially became the first Connecticut based company to become CFESA (Commercial Food Equipment Service Association) Certified. CFESA became an invaluable source for information regarding the service industry. Gary took advantage of the gas, electric and steam training manuals. He began making sure all his technicians where factory trained and encouraged them to become Master Certified Technicians.
"We are coming up on 25 years...
Pretty excited for Gary and all our employees.
We all are doing a pretty good job."
