Conagree Home Center was established
by my grandfather and grandmother, Lester and Jerri Newton. I am
the third generation of Newton's that are involved in and own Congaree
Home Center. Lester and Jerri Newton started Congaree Home Center,
Inc. in 1991. They started this company so that they could have
some thing to do while they were semi-retired and here it is 20
years later and they have built an successful company with a solid
foundation that is going to last another 20 years and that I am
proud to be a part of.
To give you some insight on the
owner, Lester Newton, he's a man with the biggest heart and would bend
over backwards twice for anyone, yet he is stubborn and a true business
man and to me the smartest businessman I know. He believes that
you always do the best you can, you treat others the way you want to be
treated, and always do what's right. At the age of 73, I have seen
my poppa go to customers homes
and plant them crape myrtle trees with his tractor, I have seen him
spend all day with his tractor raking and backfilling in 90 degree
weather around a customer's home who couldn't afford it elsewhere, and I
have seen him feed up his animals on his farm at 10pm so that his
customers could be 100% satisfied and taken care of no matter what time
he arrived home.
Lester saw a need in the Columbia area
for a dealership to provide quality built homes at affordable prices
and a company that would treat people with respect and honesty. A
year after opening, Art Newton, my father, joined the company after
being in truck and car sales for over 10 years. Art is another
owner and has been a huge part of Congaree since the beginning in
management and in sales.&n bsp; Art is very involved in the MHISC
(Manufactured Housing Institute of South Carolina) where he has served
as President and is currently a chair member. I joined the company after
I graduated from LSU in 2001, and as I learned the family business I
understood how much effort my grandfather and my father put into making
sure that their customer's were happy and satisfied 100% with service
they received and the quality of their home.
Again I am so lucky to be able to work
with my father, my grandfather, and my grandmother and the Congaree
Home Center family as we learn and grow every day. This company
was started on the belief that you must treat everyone like they are a
part of your family and we want each of our customers and our future
customers to feel like they have been treated like they are a part of
the Congaree Home Center family.
