The Jones brothers are behind the popular motocross race held each year at the region’s Town and Country Fair. The store donates UTVs to a local group that holds senior rides along the city’s riverfront trails. It also supports the local affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the St. Louis VA Medical Center, Jefferson Barracks Division. In addition, Bob serves as president of the chamber of commerce and has served as chairman of the fair’s board of directors and on several other local boards. Jimmy has served on the board of MMI for several years.

“Jeff Walde is my service manager. He started just out of high school. He’s been here 28 years,” Bob says. “He brings so much business into the store because he’s so good at what he does. People say, ‘I’m going to have my bike fixed, but I don’t want anybody to touch it but Jeff.’ My parts manager, Rick [Nolkemper], he’s been here 25, 26 years. And I’ve got eight or 10 employees who’ve all been with me for 10 to 12 years.

FOCUS ON SERVICE
The drop in unit sales forced the store’s management to look for other profit centers. The most obvious was service, which has always been a big part of J&W’s business given Jimmy’s involvement. Prior to opening his own dealership, Jimmy was service manager for a big shop in St. Louis. Now, J&W Cycles runs eight full-time mechanics, all of them with at least 10 years dedicated to working for the Jones brothers.
