Company History
Daley & Wanzer has been in
business since the late 1800s beginning as a local express company.
Originally, Daley & Wanzer would transport the belongings of summer
tourists and beach goers from the boats to their hotels or homes. This
created a bond with the people on vacation and always brings back the
memories of Nantasket beach and Paragon Park in their heyday. In 1915,
the Fleck family purchased Daley & Wanzer, and continued to run the
business just like the former proprietors, Mr. Daley & Mr. Wanzer.
The first generation took special pride in keeping the Daley &
Wanzer reputation for excellence in service intact. The second
generation took this opportunity to expand our service. This is based
upon the solid foundation that the founding fathers built with our
service to the summer residents. As the suburban community grew, so did
the company due to Daley & Wanzer, Inc. At this same time we include
motorized vehicles in its fleet, thus allowing us to cover a greater
distance than with just the horse and buggy.
The
expanded regions included Greater New England as well as New York. With
the third generation came sunnier skies. These same residents that
originally were coming to Nantasket Beach for summers were now heading
to Florida to retire. As time has passed, we increased our trips to
Florida on a weekly basis. As always, there are midpoint stops along our
route. With the fourth generation quickly moving up the ranks, Daley
& Wanzer is continuing to build upon its reputation of quality
service. As all of the generations have said:
"We are not trying to be the biggest- just the best."
