HUNT VENTURES is a privately held company located in Rogers, Arkansas, started by J.B. Hunt after his retirement, in 1995, from the very successful trucking company that also bears his name, J.B. Hunt Transport. Today, after the passing of Mr. Hunt in 2006, his widow Johnelle carries on the legacy as Chairman of the HUNT VENTURES investment portfolio.  The daughter of an Arkansas poultry business owner, Johnelle Hunt studied elementary education at University of Central Arkansas before leaving early to marry her high school sweetheart, J.B. Hunt (d.2006). The couple sold their home to kickstart a rice hull packaging business in 1961; Johnelle, then a stay-at-home mom, began working part time on office duties such as bookkeeping and taking customers' orders. The burgeoning business soon required her to turn full time. In 1969, the Hunts bought five used trucks and seven trailers, and J.B. Hunt Transport Services was born. Today, the company boasts $6.2 billion in sales and employs nearly 16,000 drivers; Hunt, who retired from the board in 2008, remains the biggest individual shareholder.  This year Mrs. Hunt was ranked #5 in Forbes list of America's Self Made Women.

 

HUNT VENTURES owns and operates several varied companies including HUNT VENTURES, property development (Rogers, AR), Central Mortar and Grout (Muskogee, OK), Pinnacle Hills Memorial Gardens and Hunt Chapel (Rogers, AR) and others.

 

In 2002 HUNT VENTURES property development began to create the Pinnacle Hills region in western Rogers, Arkansas. Mr. Hunt and partners realized the growth potential of the area and began acquiring property on both sides of Interstate 540 (now Interstate 49) at exit 82 for the development. HUNT VENTURES now has over 1,000,000 square feet of Class-A office space and over 300,000 square feet of retail/dining right here in the heart of Northwest Arkansas.
