They’ve been buying and riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles in Manassas for 30 years

Mayor Harry J. Parrish II congratulated Whitt’s Harley-Davidson this week on their 30th Anniversary. Whitt’s is the oldest dealership in Northern Virginia and will be celebrating their anniversary with year long activities. This includes taking part in Rolling Thunder on Sunday, May 24 and an open house on Saturday, May 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“We enjoy celebrating these milestones with City businesses,” said City Manager William Patrick Pate. “The City looks forward to the next 30 years working with Whitt’s Harley-Davidson.”

This dealership has been in business since March 1985. The current Center Street location, formerly Southern States, was built in 1957. It still has the railroad tracks in the back of the property. In June 1998, T. Ellsworth Davison purchased the property and relocated his dealership from a 5,000 square foot building to the current 30,000 square foot building. The renovated showroom gleams with new paint and chromed Harley motorcycles.

The City of Manassas values all of its businesses, whether they are new to the City, like Manassas Olive Oil or Totally Vintage Designs, or they are celebrating a monumental anniversary, like Whitt’s Harley-Davidson.

Also celebrating a momentous anniversary is Heltzel Mortgage. They are celebrating 50 years in business. Originally founded in 1965 as the Robert Heltzel Company, became the Hetzel Mortgage Corporation in 1980. Heltzel Mortgage will be celebrating their 50th with a free community concert at the Harris Pavilion on May 29 from 7 to 11 p.m.

The City of Manassas is proud of Whitt’s Harley Davidson and all of those businesses that have such a long history of success in Manassas. Especially during Business Appreciation Month, it is important to make acknowledgements of these successes.
