Minnesota Rusco suddenly closes after 70 years in business, leaving customers scrambling
The New Hope home improvement company known for its jingle, “We’re Minnesota Rusco, since 1955,” confirmed its closure on Thursday, days after many Minnesotans started to suspect the news.
Several viewers have reached out to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS saying they had already paid for projects that are now in limbo. But there’s a chance people who have paid for an unfinished project can get their money back.
“With heavy hearts we regrettably inform you, Minnesota Rusco, a Renovo Home Partners company, has ceased all operations,” the company posted on its website Thursday morning. “We would like to wish our staff and their families the best as they navigate these difficult times and thank all of Minnesota for their 70 years of support and trust.”
Three years ago, Renovo Home Partners — a Texas company backed by private equity — purchased Minnesota Rusco.
