According to Don Stewart, President of the Bel Air Independence Day Committee, “We are extremely pleased to have Jones Junction as our Premier Sponsor. Jones has a history of generous giving to the Bel Air community, and we welcome this commitment from them,” Stewart adds.
Michael Blum, Vice President of the Bel Air Independence Day Committee, agrees. “We cannot produce the event without the generous support of local businesses,” Blum states. “Jones is now leading the way, and I hope other businesses notice this and also help us,” he adds.
Jones Junction recently celebrated its 100th consecutive year as a family-run automotive business serving Harford County and the surrounding area. Since its founding by patriarch C.M. Jones, the Jones family has serving its community with superior customer service, now from its 40-acre location on Belair Road. The business comprises ten new car dealerships, a PreOwned Superstore and a Collision Center. Owners Larry Jones, Danny Jones and Bryan Kilby carry on their parents’ philosophies and dedication to hard work and integrity.
