Eldorado Buyer Dennis Jones Retires

We have the honor to announce the retirement of Dennis Jones after 44 years of employment with Eldorado. Jones joined Eldorado April 1, 1976 as a Sales Representative, at the time Eldorado distributed smoking accessories. Jones eventually transitioned to the Purchasing department as the buyer, and for a while was the only buyer. Then in the 1980’s the government started closing down the smoking accessory industry and Dennis worked closely with Eldorado’s owner, Larry Garland, to find a better distribution niche. Jones shares, “I am very grateful for the long career Eldorado has provided me. I feel fortunate for the opportunity to have worked for the same company for over 40 years. Being a pleasure products buyer for one of the leading wholesale distributors in the USA has provided me a chance to establish numerous business contacts, many which have turned to lifelong friendships. I will certainly miss all the experiences this industry has offered me over the years.” Eldorado CEO Wanda Garland adds, Dennis and I have been through many changes together as Eldorado has evolved over the last 44 years. I was 19 and he was in his early 20’s when we each first started with Eldorado over 40 years ago. Dennis is a character and I appreciate his fun personality that has made all of us laugh over the years. In 2003, he was instrumental in helping Eldorado relocate our inventory when we moved from Boulder to Broomfield. Dennis has always been such a loyal, dedicated friend and coworker; we could not ask for a better employee.” Everyone at Eldorado wishes Dennis Jones all the best in his retirement.
