From Waynesburg to Alaska: The Fox Ford Legacy | Episode #30

It’s not every day you get to talk about a local business that has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century. In this episode of the GreeneScene Podcast, Shelly sits down with Mark Fox, owner and operator of Fox Ford, alongside Commercial Sales Manager Seth Wilson. Both homegrown right here in Waynesburg, Mark and Seth share the journey of a dealership that first opened its doors back in 1912. Through generations of name changes, family transitions, and economic shifts, Fox Ford has remained a driving force in Greene County by lifting up the community through volunteer firefighting, supporting Waynesburg University, and other helpful acts of service. In this episode, we discuss: > Steering Through History: How Fox Ford survived multiple economic hardships including World War II, the 2008 financial crash, and the unprecedented hurdles of the 2020 pandemic. > The Internet Era: A look at how the car-buying market has completely transformed, shifting from dealership-hopping to a digital-first world where high values and treating people right matter more than ever. > Hilarious Customer Tales: Mark shares some laugh-out-loud moments from decades on the showroom floor. > The Alaska Truck Story: Seth tells the wild tale of a custom truck buyer who traveled all the way across the United States to piece together his dream vehicle right here in Waynesburg. > Investing in the Future: Mark’s vision for adapting to modern times while keeping the dealership’s core spirit alive by investing in local families and serving the community at large. ----- Follow the GreeneScene Community Magazine on social media for more: > Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GreeneSceneCommunityMagazine > Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greenescenecommunitymagazine ----- Executive Producer: Pam Marisa Producers: Vicky Hughes & Sandy Wilson Hosts: Shelly Brown & Dolly Throckmorton Audio Editor/Manager: Jacob Ahlbrand ----- For more information on the GreeneScene Community Magazine, visit https://greenescenemagazine.com.
