Cresco Resco is family owned and operated. In 1977, my father-in-law Paul Oelsner purchased Resco Restaurant Equipment in Reno, Nevada. He saw tremendous potential to turn the little store, which had little merchandising on hand, into something far grander. Within months, business skyrocketed! The once little store was turned into a first-of-its-kind showroom, making Resco the biggest dealer in Reno -with weekly deliveries across the eastern side of the Sierras.
