ABOUT US

Minton Jones was founded in 1946 by Travis Jones and William Minton after they left the armed services at the end of World War II.

Since then, we have grown to be the premier business office supplies and office furniture store that Georgia businesses depend on. We stock over 60,000 different products to give your organization a go-to source for everything you need to run smoothly.

But selling products isn’t all we do. We believe upholding our company values and commitment to outstanding service is even more important than selling office supplies.
