Roy Benton opened Roy Benton Trailer Sales in 1963.
In 1969, after seven years in the Navy, Roy’s son Larry
returned home to work for his father.
Larry purchased the business a year later in 1970, changing the
name to Benton Mobile Home Sales.
Fuqua Homes were introduced to our customers in 1979.
Built in Boonville, Missouri, Fuqua homes offers a locally
built, quality product that shares Larry Benton’s vision of the
future. Fuqua
was one of the first manufacturers to offer super energy saving
packages and basement installation.
The proximity of the factory helped defray the escalating
freight costs and allowed us to take delivery of our homes in a more
timely fashion. Benton
Homes has been Fuqua’s #1 sales center since 1979.
In 1980 Benton Mobile Home Sales became Benton Homes, Inc. to
reflect changes happening in the product market.
Cecilia “CeCe” Benton, Larry’s wife, joined our staff in
the early 1980’s. She is
an officer in the company. You
will often find CeCe furnishing and decorating our display homes.
Larry & CeCe’s son, Brett, started working on the set-up
crew for Benton Homes in 1981. He
worked his way into new home sales by 1984 and is now the Sales
Manager/Vice President of Benton Homes, Inc.
Brett’s wife, Ronda, also works for Benton Homes as our
Business Manager. She has
been employed with us since 1994.
Larry & CeCe’s daughter, Tonya, joined us as our Chief
Financial Officer in 1999.
Larry retired at the
beginning of 2010, when Brett and Ronda purchased the business.
Since 1963 Benton Homes has offered a quality product at an
affordable price. For
three generations, Missouri residents have come to know Benton Homes
as the pioneer of the factory built housing industry.
Our homes are set-up and serviced by professionally trained
personnel. Now an
exclusive Fuqua dealer, we offer the best quality product on the
market today. Please stop
by and let us show you what Benton Homes can do for you.
No one can bring you home like Benton Homes!
