Company history
In 1962, Richard Harrington began repairing equipment at his father’s business, Earl’s Lawn Mower Service, in Gaithersburg, MD. Richard had the gift of mechanical ability, and taught himself to repair equipment. In 1978, Mr. Harrington moved the family to Emmitsburg, MD; and opened Harrington & Sons.
After seven years in the Navy, Richard left the family business to learn the carpentry trade. After five years in the home construction business, Richard moved to Germantown, MD. There, he opened a business under his father’s wing as Harrington & Son’s II; where he met Christine.
In 1993, Richard struck out on his own, and opened Harrington’s Service Center, Inc; in Germantown, MD. In 1996, Christine joined the company and began learning the outdoor equipment trade. By 2001, Richard & Christine had tired of city life, so they moved with their son, Seth, to Fairfield, PA.
In 2003, Harrington’s Service Center was relocated to a rental property in Taneytown, MD (Harney, MD).
In 2010, Richard & Christine purchased a commercial property for sale near their home that offered a house and the right commercial zoning. This was a great opportunity to be near home, near work, plus keep their son in the Fairfield School system. In 2012, Richard & Christine moved their business from Taneytown, MD to their current location, in Fairfield, PA, and became Harrington’s Equipment Company.
