Portable Restroom Rentals for Hooters in Lakeland, FL

When you think about your neighborhood, there are businesses and restaurants attached that you consider to be a part of the community. For Lakeland, Fl it’s the local Hooters that is the place to commence for team fundraisers, trivia nights, televised sporting events, and great food for everyone. They also take time to help make a difference in their community. Most recently, Hooters in the Lakeland, FL location held a blood donation event! They, of course, offered 10 pieces of their world-renowned wings, along with a movie ticket in exchange for donations. It’s so amazing to have a local hub you can count on. What do you do when your normality is shattered? When disaster strikes, having a place that reminds you of a simpler time is vital. As most know, the latest hurricane season wasn't so kind to the Florida Panhandle specifically. This establishment needed to make sure they were doing all they could to not only stay up and running but make sure their employees had resources to keep things running. Here at Portable Restroom Trailers, we were honored when we got a call requesting our services. After they saw what a big impact Portable Restroom Trailers made working hand and hand with Baker Distributing Company in Panama City, FL after being hit terribly by Hurricane Michael, they knew we would be able to supply portable restroom rentals quickly.   A Fun Filled Bar and Restaurant   Hooters has been in business since October 4, 1983, in Clearwater, Florida. Originally, this concept was created by the famous “Hooters six,” a group of buddies who were really just looking for a place where they could all hang out together. The restaurant was named after famed and beloved comedian Steve Martin’s comedy sketch. One of the most iconic things about Hooters is the beloved waitresses. With food and service served with a smile, they knew they had an unbeatable formula. The test would be the 1984 Super Bowl. After that successful day, this little joint’s fame began to spread. The Hooters Six  could not have predicted how much the public yearned for a fun, casual alternative to the existing fern bars and fine dining establishments. As they say, the rest has been history! Hooters has since become a fun oasis to all.   A SOLUTION WITH PORTABLE RESTROOM RENTALS   When word first broke of Hurricane Michael, higher-ups decided early on that they needed to ensure that employees and consumers would be able to see relief at their establishments. That’s where our portable restroom rentals came in. We were able to assess their needs and set them up with a 4-week rental, with our amazing ADA + 2 Station Comfort Series Portable Restroom Trailer. Features include solid surface countertops, wall mount porcelain sink (ADA room,) self-closing faucets, soap dispensers. Shatterproof mirrors,1 piece non-skid rubber flooring and so much more! Having one of these ADA +2 station portable restroom rentals is perfect for renovations, or just for large events in general. The Lakeland, Florida Hooters reported that having multiple trailers on the property was a tremendous help when providing free meals for first responders. They were able to ensure first responders had food in their bellies and a place to wash up. This helped them feel not only appreciated by those they were helping but also made them thankful for the work they were doing. Since Florida is the first home of Hooters, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that when an opportunity came to help their community and home state, they would. Their customers were thankful and their help with first responders was irreplaceable. Our portable restroom rentals provided an everyday amenity that many of us take for granted. We were glad to assist Hooters of Lakeland in getting their business back operating.

Shower Trailer to Aid CareBag Inc.

While we are always happy to partner with each and every business we meet, a special part of our passion for providing the best in the sanitation business is helping nonprofits. Over the years, we’ve seen a number of organizations come our way in order to help those in need. From natural disaster relief to homeless care, each of these organizations work tirelessly to supply their communities with needs that we take for granted every day.Our restroom and shower trailer collections are great at black tie events and on work sites, but they have an even bigger impact at nonprofit facilities. These restrooms and showers are used by people who may not have everyday access. They provide those who have lost everything in fires and floods with a small taste of everyday life. They allow first responders to have a moment of relief before heading back into dangerous territories. Even the volunteers and staff at some of these nonprofits are able to use them while continuing to serve the community.Overall, nothing makes us prouder than getting to work with these nonprofits. One such organization is Carebag, Inc., a nonprofit in Palm Beach, FL that serves the homeless community. With a story that inspired the beginning of something impactul, learning about what this organization does touches our hearts and makes us want to take action in our own communities. For them, providing a shower trailer was an honor.ABOUT CAREBAG INCPalm Beach, FL has the highest concentration of homeless children in America. Roxy, the founder of Carebag, Inc., decided it was time someone took action and made a change in the homeless community.Having experienced trauma of her own, Roxy turned her grief into passion when she founded Carebag. She lost a child at a young age, and in her sadness realized that she still had love to give. Her strength and selflessness is why the homeless community of Palm Beach is now getting some much needed aid. Carebag is an organization that provides assistance to children and families throughout the area, implementing long-term solutions so that each individual has the chance to get back on their feet. They believe that proper hygiene should be a basic human right, and we couldn’t agree more. They realized that by providing showers for the homeless, they could give hope to those who think they’ve lost it all for good. Carebag is an organization that believes in a hands-on approach - they are in the community, boots on the ground, making sure that every ounce of help needed is given.Over the course of 2017, Carebag was so glad to report that they gave out over 67,000 bags of food in their homeless community. This is just the beginning. As they expand their goal to provide basic hygiene care to the community, they came to us with a need for a mobile shower and restroom solution. As we heard their story, our hearts were touched and we were eager to get them a unit as soon as possible. A SHOWER TRAILER SOLUTIONTo service their local community, Carebag needed a compact and portable unit that would be able to provide showers and restrooms for the homeless. Given their need, we suggested the 2 Station Shower Trailer/ Portable Restroom Combo. This 12 foot shower trailer is fitted with a 175 gallon fresh water tank and 275 gallon waste tank. The exterior is simple and cleanly designed, reinforced to prevent scratches and dents. Each suite is accessible by sturdy, aluminum steps and rails for safety.The exterior is clean and durable, built with scratch and dent-proof material. Each suite of this shower trailer is completely private with separate entrances for each. The outside of each door comes with ample lighting to ensure that access is safe no matter what time day or night. Guests are greeted with a clean designer interior, each equipped with a shower, flushable china toilet, sink vanity, and mirror. To ensure guests are always comfortable, this shower trailer has air conditioning and heat strips to guarantee that the temperature stays comfortable no matter what outside weather is like. The insulated walls and ceiling further aid in maintaining a comfortable interior temperature.This shower trailer is just the first of many. Carebag continues to dream of expansion, providing a number of shower trailers throughout their county so that all corners of their community have access to restrooms and showers. We are so excited to help them grow and provide good in their community.THE SMARTER RESTROOM APPIn February of 2017, we launched the Smarter Restrooms App, and this tool has helped our many partners to more effectively run their shower trailer business. The app, which can be downloaded and used on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop, makes the overall management of restroom fleets convenient and more time effective.As we continue to partner with new businesses, we want to highlight the value of purchasing a shower trailer with the Smarter Restrooms App feature. Read ahead to discover three key upgrades that the app provides. Receive Timely NotificationsEach shower trailer unit comes with water saving flushable toilets, running water from sinks, and sometimes, showers and other amenities. This means that fresh water tank and waste tank levels require careful monitoring.No need to do this math on your own any longer! The Smarter Restroom App sends the fleet managers alert notifications when waste and freshwater tank levels are 2⁄3 full or empty, causing the unit will be out of service shortly. This is sure to boost productivity, allowing your team to have easy access to the information they need to keep your shower trailer operating smoothly. All-In-One Control SystemNothing is more important than the experience of your guests. We want to ensure that every user has a comfortable experience in a climate-controlled unit with all the amenities of a brick-and-mortar restroom. This is an easy achievement with the app’s system operations control feature.The app detects and controls shore power, interior climate temperatures, and up-to-date weather conditions, giving units winter protection from freezing temperatures and keeping things cool when hot. This ensures that restroom fleet managers stay updated from a remote location - they’ll know what changes are needed to the unit and when, which allows for a consistently pleasant restroom experience for guests.The app also allows for geometric locating, allowing managers to see the exact locations of all portable restroom trailers at all times. Offsite Unit ManagementThe most tasking part of operating a restroom or shower trailer fleet is basic management. Making the trip back and forth to one or many units takes up valuable time, which can lower efficient customer service. The app addresses this issue as well.Managers have capabilities to remotely control lights, air conditioning, heating, water heaters, and trailer power. This means managers can operate more restroom trailers off-site, expand their operations, and provide superior service.Overall, the Smarter Restrooms App was developed to allow businesses who use or own a shower trailer to manage them more effectively. The app allows the management team to get more done in less time, makes fleet operations easier in general, and saves valuable employee time. Now, with the app, you can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor. We’ve made it easy so that your business can provide the best service possible easily, allowing you to grow and prosper.WE CAN HELP YOU WITH A SHOWER TRAILERWe are always happy to leave a customer satisfied.

WINTERIZE YOUR SHOWER TRAILERFor those who experience extreme weather conditions, we know how hard it can get to maintain your shower trailer. Maintenance issues are bound to arise: what if your water freezes? What if the hose gets clogged by ice? How do I keep my restroom guests comfortable during use?These are all thoughts we’ve had when thinking about how to continue to improve our product. We want you to have the highest quality experience possible after your purchase. When it comes to cold weather, note these tips to ensure your shower trailer stays functioning and keeps that high quality for long periods of time. Protect Your Water SupplyWrap heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Use duct tape to hold it in place, about every 12 inches.Put foam tube insulation around the hose and heat tape. Leave the plugs and power lights uncovered.Run duct tape down the insulation, leaving the connecting ends, plugs and power lights uncovered. If you cover them, you will not be able to connect the water or power. Leave test lights and power lights uncovered (for testing and to be sure the hose remains working).Create A BoxPlace two 1500-watt electric heaters under the unit. Be sure you have sufficient power!Build a 2×2 or 2×4 wood frame to fit underneath each side of the unit. This is going to box the bottom of the outside of the unit.Fill any gaps with insulationCut ½” plywood to fit frame for each side. Be sure to consider stairs when cutting your wood. Stairs should be out and in place before measuring.Measure and cut out a 6”x6” square to cover the drain access. Attach this with hinges so you can access the drain when needed. This will protect drain valve from freezing.Eliminate gaps and holes on the tongue side of the unit with R-13 (or greater) insulation.Staple insulation inside the wood boxCut a piece of insulation in half and lay it on the ground where the box will be placed. This eliminates gaps between the wood and the ground.After Plywood is AttachedFill any small gaps on the top and bottom of the box with insulationStaple bubble wrap around the outside of the wood unit. This closes of gaps and keeps cold air out and heat in.Use electrical tape to cover plug connections that will remain outside.For Units Not Used in WinterEliminate the use of power and water until the unit is ready to be used again.Drain water from all the lines.Add non-toxic RV “Pink Water System” antifreezeUnplugIf you are a nonprofit organization or know a nonprofit who could benefit from having a shower trailer, please get in touch with us.
