Akron Auto Auction company history timeline

1973

Fisher operated Akron Auto Auction until 1973, and then sold the auction to five partners -- Jerry Hall, Gene Campbell, Don Bailey, Gary Linsted, and Bill Janes.

1979

The auction soon outgrew the Waterloo location and a six-acre site was bought on Ley Drive in Akron for a new three-lane facility, which opened in April 1979.

1984

Business kept booming and two additional lanes were added in 1984.

1993

In 1993, another addition was built, more than doubling the size of the original auction.

1994

In 1994, Don Bailey retired from presidency of Akron Auto Auction and was succeeded by Jeff Bailey.

1999

That brought us to 1999 where Jeff's nephew, Chad M. Bailey, came on board in a part-time fashion upon returning to Ohio from Florida where he obtained his MBA. What started out as just helping here and there has turned into a love affair which has landed him the role of General Manager.
