Mobile restroom business is flush with potential

Vince Lufsey wanted to be a police officer. But what he thought would be a temporary gig at his father’s company, Gene’s Johns Rentals, wound up leading to 25 years in the mobile restroom industry.

When Lufsey and his wife, Valerie, had the opportunity to sell the Maryland-based business and its sister company, Blue Ribbon Restroom Trailers, they took it so they could move to Florida. Now they’re setting up shop in Sarasota with a new business, Tailored Thrones, which will build off their previous experience, but in a less labor-intensive way.
