Special to North Carolina Construction News
ASHLAND, VA –James River Equipment will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
Originating in Holly, Colorado in 1926, the Romer family started a John Deere dealership that has grown over the last century with James River Equipment branching out to serve the east coast throughout North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
“We didn’t set out to get larger,” James River Equipment founder and CEO Mark Romer, said in a statement. “We always wanted to grow, but we didn’t have a plan to get big. It just sort of happened. If there’s any special sauce we’ve applied, it’s been putting our trust in people to be good partners and to make good decisions.”
The centennial celebration will include events, stories and recollections shared across all James River social media channels and installations at each James River store honoring the history of the company through timelines, artifacts and more.
