Minnesota Rusco, a local home improvement business known for its catchy advertising jingle, has closed.
“With heavy hearts we regrettably inform you, Minnesota Rusco, a Renovo Home Partners company, has ceased all operations,” the 70-year-old company shared in a statement on its website.
Based in New Hope and famously founded in 1955, Minnesota Rusco was known for its earworm advertisements, State Fair swag and, of course, its windows, siding and doors.
Minnesota Rusco was acquired by Renovo Homes, a Dallas-based aggregator of local home improvement and remodeling companies, in late 2022. Renovo Homes closed its doors Tuesday, as reported by industry magazine Qualified Remodeler.
“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,” the company statement said.
Advice for consumers
The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office is recommending that customers of Minnesota Rusco dispute charges with their credit card issuers for services not received, Minnesota Public Radio reported.
“Consumers who have been financially harmed are encouraged to preserve any contracts, receipts, or other documents they received in their dealings with Minnesota Rusco,” a spokesperson for the attorney general’s office said in a statement to MPR on Thursday.
