Jerry Subar, Chairman of the Board, Model Coverall Service, Inc:   "I've worked all my life in this business.  After graduating from Central High School, The University of Michigan, and serving in the U.S. Army in Korea, I dedicated my career to providing our customers with the best value in the business."   Jerry has served on dozens of industry and community boards and chaired several committees, and has donated thousands of hours supporting Special Olympics, Sheriff's Honor Camp and many other local programs.  Jerry and Judy Subar and Model have supported dozens of local charitable organizations and fund scholarships at several local universities.


Jon Subar, President:   "We are proud caretakers of our family's business, and hope that some of our five daughters will take over the business one day.  Our goal has never been to be known as “the biggest”, but to be known as 'the best', and as bringing many 'firsts' to our customers.  Please call me anytime with your questions, comments or suggestions for improvement.  To our customers, thank you for the gift of your loyalty.  We will continue to work hard to earn it. To our employees, thank you for the gift of your dedication to our mission.”    Jon worked at Model while in high school and college, and worked in finance in Boston after graduating from The University of Michigan.  He has been back at Model since 1986, and has “the best job in the world."  Contact Jon  or call Jon's cell-phone anytime (616-291-0895)
