October 24, 2023 by in Press Releases

[Jonesboro, Ark., Oct. 25, 2023] — Haag Brown Commercial is thrilled to announce DNW Outdoors & Automotive, the top sporting goods and automotive store in Northeast Arkansas, has sold!

With an unwavering commitment to quality, a vast inventory of automotive essentials, and a comprehensive selection of sporting goods, DNW has earned its reputation as the go-to destination across the region. The store plays an essential role in the Duck Classic, contributing significantly to the local community and its traditions. The Parish family, automotive and hunting enthusiasts, approached Joshua Brown at Haag Brown Commercial with the goal of either acquiring an existing business or introducing a new company to Jonesboro. When DNW perfectly aligned with their vision, Joshua reached out to the owners, Dennis and Kay Noell. 

Being part of this sale was an incredible honor, and I'm truly grateful to Dennis and Kay for trusting me with this important project. So many good people were involved who have been essential in our community for a long time, and I'm just a small piece of the puzzle. I also want to highlight Lindsey's hard work. Her determination and tenacity were key to making this deal happen. I believe everyone involved, from both sides, would agree.
Joshua Brown

Principal, Haag Brown Commercial

Lindsey Parish with Century 21 represented the buyer, and Joshua Brown, Haag Brown Commercial Principal and Co-Founder, represented the seller. 

My passion starts with business and real estate, so when my family came to me with interest in a business adventure, I couldn’t have been more excited. Knowing that they all share a deep passion for hunting and automotive, my initial thought went straight to DNW. Making this transaction possible has fulfilled my heart completely.
Lindsey Parish

New DNW Owner & Century 21 Agent

The Parish family is no stranger to the automotive world. As part-owners of Jonesboro’s Central dealership, a dealership that recently celebrated 100 years in operation, they bring a rich history and a deep understanding of the industry to their new ownership role at DNW. 

For generations, my family has been involved in many local businesses such as Central Dealerships and Parish Family Farms. My late husband, Tony Parish, had a true love for the outdoors between farming and hunting. I know he would’ve been greatly supportive of our children `{`Cody & Cady Parish`}`, grandchildren, and me with this business adventure. I look forward to watching them grow in this industry for generations to come.
Susie Parish

New DNW Owner

The new owners are eager to continue the DNW legacy and are committed to setting up a multi-generational business that will serve the Jonesboro community for years to come. The Parish family, avid participants in the hunting and farming communities, bring their passion for the outdoors to the table, ensuring that the DNW experience continues to flourish. 

I’ve always loved coming to DNW. As a teenager, I can remember always thinking how neat it would be to own a store like this one. With a passion for hunting and the automotive industry, my dreams are becoming a reality with the purchase of DNW Outdoors & Automotive.
Cody Parish

New DNW Owner
My very first memory of DNW was with my dad `{`Tony Parish`}`. He bought me my first pair of muck boots and a pink Bebe gun. At the age of 7, my love for the outdoors started. As I got older, my love for vehicles took off as well. This business feeds both passions: my love for the outdoors and automotive.
Cady Parish

New DNW Owner

The previous owners, Dennis and Kay Noell, have invested over 36 years in DNW Outdoors & Automotive as their dedication and commitment to the business have been instrumental in its success. The shared devotion and deep-rooted connection in the hunting and automotive world, as well as the community, was the turning point for the Noell family in this transaction. 

We are just excited to see a young, enthusiastic local family stepping up to guide DNW. While we both plan to stay on helping with the transition, it is time for us to slow down.
Dennis & Kay Noell

DNW Founders & Former Owners

This change in ownership represents a new chapter in the history of DNW Outdoors & Automotive, one that honors its past while looking toward a bright and prosperous future. The Parish family is excited to embark on this journey, and the Jonesboro community can look forward to a new generation of exceptional services and products that they have come to know and love.
