2026 TOP GUN Event Winners
Peer Executive Groups has named the winners of its 2026 Event Rental Top Gun Awards.
The Top Gun award recognizes Event rental operators who receive the PEG Pinnacle Award for Financial Excellence. The awards are given to the top 25 percent of rental stores in the network based on financials submitted by rental operators and verified by Peer Executive Groups. This is the eighth year that PEG has named companies for this prestigious award.
“We apply owner compensation, expense, and rent tests to verify EBITDA using submitted financial reports. We check this against financial reports and tax returns where appropriate. While our overall network shows EBITDA performance closer to 14%, our Event Rental Top Gun members consistently show a 5% better.”, stated President, Dan Crowley. “Top Gun operators averaged $6.4 million in revenue representing about an 8% increase over 2024.”
