THE THRONE DEPOT
Boston MA - Porta Potties Fit for Royalty! Boston entrepreneurs, Steve Brodeur and Michael Cormier, are the owner-operators of The Throne Depot, and creators of the most prestigious concept in the portable toilet rental industry. The partners have created an urban rental product opportunity for even the most discerning of porta potty patrons. Each of their pristine portables is maintained using only the best cleaning supplies and features a full stock of environmentally friendly restroom hygiene products.

THE RISE OF A BOSTON PORTA POTTY DYNASTY Maybe calling it a dynasty in the making is a stretch — or, is it? The growth of this rental service company is pretty staggering. Brodeur tells the story of the early days, before the partnership, and how he and Cormier came to invest in this industry and start up this unique company. “Michael and I were in the truck business in the late ‘90s, in Hinos. (Hino is Toyota’s largest division in the world.) We have 30 of them. They’re the trucks we use.
...“So, we bought 26 toilets in December 1995. By 2013, we were buying as many as could fit on an 18-wheeler, 120 toilets on a truck.” I worked for Mike. He had a dealership, I was doing sales for him. There was no porta potty to be sold in the whole state. We looked at that, we started that. I had been in the dot-com business previously. I was a salesperson selling online software. People ordered their cement and lumber online. I was in that business for a couple of years, and then we started the porta potty company. We thought, “How hard can it be?” Note here that to meet The Throne Depot leadership is to promptly and simultaneously encounter their dry wit meshed with razor-sharp business acumen. Steve goes on, “So, we bought 26 toilets in December 1995. By 2013, we were buying as many as could fit on an 18-wheeler, 120 toilets on a truck.” continued on page 10

Contractors can play a major role in spreading knowledge and information about eco-friendly practices to their clients, employees, and the wider community. One effective way to achieve this is by organizing workshops, distributing informational materials,

and using digital platforms to launch awareness campaigns. Educating clients about the benefits of sustainable septic practices can help create a sense of responsibility and establish the contractor as a trusted partner in environmental protection. Contractors can also invest in employee training programs to ensure their workforce is well-informed about the latest eco-friendly technologies and practices. This enhances their skill set and highlights the company's commitment to sustainability.

Perhaps, more importantly, the laws, regulations, and best practices of the septic industry will change. Oftentimes, a county or township will experiment with the next newest "environmentally friendly" septic tank design. Whether or not it's a good design, having the ability to work with it can mean a load of guaranteed contracts.

Hands-on experiences included a factory tour that invited each guest to build their own iconic RIDGID customized pipe wrench and time in the research test lab working with innovations in the product development pipeline. “Our guests got a sneak peek at what’s coming from RIDGID, and we loved hearing their opinions on how these tools can help them maximize their time on jobsites,” said Michael Lucas, marketing manager RIDGID Europe. “Getting this global perspective is so important and hearing it in person is really special to our teams.” The trip was modeled after the North American RIDGID Experience now heading into its seventh year in 2024.

internal systems. The community has already fully adopted the World Wide Web in its ubiquitous applications of artificial intelligence for everything from sales bot engagement to server security. From the simplest perspective, costs will naturally continue to drop and tech knowledge will naturally rise with time as new technologies become more widely adopted, and security improves as the software requires it to do in order to be of optimum service in its particular environment. With these improvements, the competitive advantages for users and the bottom-line value of AI integration rises for all of a business’s stakeholders. Predictably, at this point, the vast majority of small business owners who do well understand their reliance on AI through its various applications in their work and personal lives, say that AI and various automation tools have been important cost-cutting assets for them and have significantly improved their companies’ overall efficiency. Of course, with their continued use of AI technologies over time, the increases in their functional capabilities and general effectiveness have become clearer.
