Our History
Jones Meat and Locker started in 1943 when Paul and Rose Jones began butchering hogs and cattle for their local farmer friends. The first location of the meat processing plant was in the back garage and basement of their home on Sandusky Road, just north of Jacksonville, Illinois. By the early 1960s, Paul and Rose’s son, Charlie, and his wife Doris, had become an integral part of the business. Soon after, the state inspection guidelines became too strict to keep the business on Sandusky Road, prompting the Joneses to purchase the Morgan County Locker located on State Street, on the east edge of Jacksonville. As the business grew, additional space was needed, and in 1977, Jones Meat and Locker built an addition to accommodate the increased demand.
In 1992, the third generation of Joneses, Terry and his wife Marcy, took over the business, continuing the family’s commitment to quality and service. For over three decades, they expanded the business, solidifying its reputation as a trusted name in meat processing and custom butchering.
In 2024, Bob Stanton and Derrick Clevenger acquired Jones Meat and Locker, ushering in a new era for the historic business. As the new owners, Bob and Derrick are deeply committed to preserving the legacy built by the Jones family while positioning the business for future growth. They are dedicated to maintaining the tradition of excellence established by the Jones family while continuing to serve the community with the same passion and integrity that has defined Jones Meat and Locker for over 80 years.
