FORT WORTH, Texas—For the third consecutive year, Jerry’s of Weatherford, Texas, is the official truck supplier of the 2006 World Championship Paint Horse Show, scheduled for June 25–July 8 in Fort Worth, Texas.

Jerry’s founded its business on family values and continues to provide top-notch customer service with those values in mind. That philosophy, coupled with customer satisfaction, has kept the Weatherford, Texas-based dealership growing for the past 36 years. According to Randall Haydon, Jerry’s of Weatherford fleet manager, it is one of the largest family-owned automobile dealerships in North Texas,

This year, as the official truck supplier of the APHA World Show, Jerry’s supports an event that offers fun for the entire family.

“We like to think of ourselves as customer-friendly and have been using the concept of making customers and not just sales for over 30 years,” Haydon said.

Jerry’s took shape in 1970, when Jerry Durant opened the first dealership, selling the Chevrolet line. Since then, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Nissan and Toyota have been added to the inventory.

Today, Jerry’s is still growing with the community and is now ranked among the top 50 dealerships in the South-Central region.

“We have six locations to serve all the automotive needs of just about anyone, and take care of all the vehicles from start to finish,” Haydon said. “We have 44 acres stocked with cars at all times. Jerry’s is very much in tune with the horse industry, as it has been a big part of our business for many years.”

Haydon said he feels that the partnership between Jerry’s and APHA is a natural fit.
