With the addition of the Tampa office, Jones now has ten locations in North America. Five of those locations include manufacturing facilities. This allows Jones to fulfill 100% of project scope in-house, from design and permitting to fabrication and installation.
Jones worked in Florida prior to undertaking recent projects and opening the Tampa office. Notably, it fabricated and installed the signage and canopies at International Plaza and Bay Street. This project in 2001 was the first of hundreds for Jones Sign in the Southeastern market.

Jones offers a turnkey option for signage, wayfinding systems, canopies, vertical gardens, custom lighting elements, electronic message centers, and other fabricated architectural elements.
