Mississippi’s First Honda Dealer Debuts Next‑Generation Facility In Jackson, Mississippi, few names carry the legacy and community presence of Paul Moak Honda. In February 2026, that legacy took an exciting step forward as the dealership celebrated its grand reopening following an extensive renovation — one that blends decades of history with a bold vision for the future of automotive retail. The timing made the celebration even more meaningful. As Mississippi’s first Honda dealer, established in 1971, Paul Moak Honda marked 55 years with the brand while also celebrating 80 years as a family-owned automotive business. Now, with its transformation as the state’s newest Honda “Blue Stage” dealership, the company stands in a unique position as both one of the longest-standing and most forward-looking dealerships in the region. A MODERN TRANSFORMATION The renovation project, which spanned approximately 10 months, reimagined the dealership from the ground up. What was once a 25-year-old facility has been transformed into a sleek, modern environment that enhances both the customer experience and operational efficiency. At the heart of the redesign is Honda’s next-generation Blue Stage design concept, which emphasizes openness, transparency and connectivity. The new dealership features expansive glass walls, an open showroom layout, and clearly defined welcome and service areas, creating a seamless, inviting customer journey. The reimagined space also reflects the changing needs of today’s customers. Multiple waiting areas — including a comfortable living room-style lounge, a dedicated workstation with charging ports and additional seating near the showroom — allow visitors to choose an environment that suits their needs. Integrated power infrastructure, including floor outlets throughout the showroom, ensures the facility is ready for emerging vehicle technologies, including electric vehicles. Even from the outside, the transformation is striking. The redesigned exterior presentation, combined with thoughtful vehicle displays, sets the tone before customers even step inside, reinforcing the dealership’s commitment to innovation and excellence. A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION On Feb. 25, 2026, Paul Moak Honda opened its doors to the public for a grand reopening celebration that drew an impressive and diverse crowd from across the Jackson community. Customers, employees, business partners and community stakeholders gathered to mark the occasion, alongside representatives from American Honda Motor Company. The event also attracted significant civic and state leadership, underscoring the dealership’s impact on the region. Among PAUL MOAK HONDA’s Grand Reopening 14
