Grand re-opening celebration held for local business
JACKSON, Tenn.—A local business celebrates its grand re-opening.
Walt Mestan Co. hosted a special event to mark its grand re-opening under new ownership.
The local business has been a staple in the fireplace and hearth industry for over 70 years.
Founded in 1950 by Walt Mestan, he spent years providing locals with fireplaces, wood stoves and more. After his passing in 2022, and the passing of his son and successor Wally shortly after, the business was left without an owner.
That’s when new owner, Greg Bodkins Jr. stepped in to not only run the business but to honor the legacy of its founder.
Bodkins expanded the showroom to offer more options for customers including; state of the art indoor and outdoor fireplaces, BBQ grills, fire pits and more. Bodkins, who is an avid pool player, even added a line of pool cues.
Today’s celebration invites the community to check out the new look of Walt Mestan Co. and get a glimpse at the new inventory.
The celebration also included a BBQ, special deals on merchandise and a raffle to win a new pool cue.
“Most of our products we stand behind 100%. We service them. We work on them and everything we have is good wholesome products, good American products,” said Greg Bodkins, owner and manager, Walt Mestan Co.
Walt Mestan Co. is located at 132 Ragland Road in Jackson.
