The walls inside Hollin Hall Auto are lined to the ceiling with plaques, certificates, resolutions, articles, photos and more memorializing the Harvey family’s 60 years of business success and their multiple contributions to the community. New owners Raheel Sheikh and Usman Nasin will keep all the accolades on the walls, keep the same 12 employees and continue the Harveys’ friendly service, says Sheikh.
The station's sign is a familiar landmark to locals
According to The Connection Newspapers, "Tom and Judy Harvey are retiring and moving to their next chapter on Maryland’s Nanticoke River. In May, they sold the business that Tom’s father, Leon, started in 1961. “It is time for the Harvey Family to say goodbye to all of our wonderful customers and friends who have supported us over the decades,” Tom wrote on Facebook. “Over 70 million gallons of gas, hundreds of first jobs, three generations of customers and employees, and in excess of $1 million put back into the community, thanks to your generous support of our business."
As per The Connection Newspapers, "A fixture in the Fort Hunt neighborhood, Hollin Hall Auto has supported numerous Little League teams, the Fort Hunt Youth Athletic Association, (the organization’s longest continuous supporter), scouts, PTAs, schools, preschools like Tauxemont and Aldersgate and other local groups and causes like Wounded Warriors. During the Bosnian refugee crisis, they employed two refugees and helped their families find furniture, clothing, and other necessities."
