On a radio talk show this morning (WHON) Jason Whitney discussed his decision to sell Joe’s Pizza and move on to other ventures.
After many great years of food and fun at Joe’s this is a sad day for many. Jason has been a help to the community in several ways during his time at Joe’s Pizza which he purchased in December 2004, later opening a branch of Joe’s Pizza at I.U. East in 2007.
Numerous non-profits have received gift certificates for their fundraisers, parties for children have been a common sight at the pizzeria, and many other people have been given jobs and support from Jason. He has helped to organize community events such as the Farmer’s market at the Depot as well.
Jason has also served on the Planning Commission of the City of Richmond during his time with Joe’s Pizza. And he has supported groups such as the Boys and Girls Club of Wayne County, Richmond Urban Enterprise Association, Indiana Historic Landmark Foundation and several others.
The hope is that he continues in this same spirit to influence our community. Stay tuned to see where Jason goes from here. He will be an asset to any endeavor that promotes Wayne County. During his radio interview he shared some ideas for making Richmond better. On his wish list he added lowering the littering as well as unwanted Graffitti ( he added that the latter was being taken care of for the most part).
Thank you Jason for all you have done to bring joy to the lives of many, as well as your down to earth ideas for making our community a better place. We at GoWayneCounty.com appreciate your service.
