Rushing Electric began in 1972 as a sole proprietorship with two employees, and the owner worked a full-time job and attended college at night while running the business. It incorporated in 1985 at 1119 E. North 36th Street in Savannah, where Tom Rushing bought a building and two lots. As work grew, staffing reached 28 employees. The company started out doing restoration electrical work in old homes in downtown Savannah, and its commercial work has included Hardee's, Burger King, Popeye's Chicken, McDonald's, El Cheapo and Shell gas stations, a convenience store at Fort Stewart, and a Youth Activity Center with the Corps of Engineers at Fort Stewart. In 2001, Tom Rushing bought a 5,600 square foot building at 411 Highway 80 West in Garden City and moved there on June 11th of that year.
