Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Grimes. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Nicole Grimes

Nicole Grimes embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship, community engagement, and philanthropy. Nicole Grimes, with the support of her husband, embarked on a journey that transformed a small party rental business into a thriving enterprise catering to large-scale events. But her impact extends far beyond the business realm; Nicole’s commitment to her community and her passion for uplifting others define her as a leader both in business and in life.

Nicole’s journey into entrepreneurship began with a vision and a strong work ethic. What started as a modest venture soon blossomed into a cornerstone of the local event industry, thanks to Nicole’s strategic vision and dedication. Through her leadership, the business has expanded its reach, serving an impressive roster of clients and leaving its mark on the community.

However, Nicole’s influence extends beyond the business world. She is deeply involved in charitable endeavors As a member of the board of trustees for the YMCA, Nicole plays a pivotal role in shaping programs and initiatives that promote community development. Her commitment to giving back underscores her belief in the power of collective action and the importance of making a positive impact where it matters most.

Her community in Delray Beach holds a special place in Nicole’s heart, and it’s easy to see why. The sense of community, the vibrant nightlife, and the shopping scene, all contribute to the charm of this town. You’ll often catch Nicole zipping about town in her golf cart! For Nicole, it’s more than just a place to live though; it’s a place where she feels truly connected and inspired and has seen the growth they’ve had over the past 20 years.

Beyond her professional and philanthropic endeavors, Nicole is fueled by a passion for networking, empowering others to succeed, and traveling. Whether she’s making new connections at industry events, exploring new places, or mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs, Nicole’s infectious enthusiasm and unwavering support leave a lasting impression on all who encounter her.

When asked about her role models, Nicole looks to women in business like Gwyneth Paltrow or Bethenny Frankel. Inspired by their tenacity, resilience, and unwavering commitment to excellence, Nicole looks to these trailblazers as guiding lights on her own journey toward success. She also has grit within, driving her to be the best she can be at whatever she sets her mind to.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Growing pains with always having to buy more inventory and not enough space! Looking back, when I started I did not have quality staff. Now my team that has been with me for years are the best in the business.

We’ve been impressed with Grimes Events & Party Tents, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We are an event and tent rental equipment company. We are known for our clean tents, professionalism, and quick installs. What sets us apart is we have seasoned installers and a tent washing machine. What makes me proud is that now I am at a level where I can give back to my community and nonprofits through my business.

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I see events getting bigger and more over the top. I can see fun things with lighting or innovative tent designs.
