2023 marked the 50th year of RJ Sales & Service. In 1973 Ronald Jones decided to try his hand at sales and started selling small equipment out of Marvin Grenrud’s auto mechanic and welding shop downtown Wadena. In 1975 he purchased a plot of land from the RM just East of Wadena and construction was started on a new building, which serves as the current store and location for R-J Sales & Service to this day. The original building was purchased from Grenrud’s and moved to RJ’s location east of Wadena. In 2024 it was refurbished in the original colors and stands as a reminder of where the business started over 50 years ago.
