Washington Business Journal's Family-Owned Business Awards


Don's Johns, Inc., in Gainesville, Virginia, is a sanitation services provider that caters to weddings, construction projects, special events, and other clients in need of portable restroom rentals and related support services. In 2016, the Washington Business Journal recognized Don's Johns, Inc., as a Family-Owned Business Award honoree.

Through the Family-Owned Business Awards, the Washington Business Journal strives to acknowledge exceptionally well-run family businesses that might not otherwise receive attention. Though the awards program focuses on family-run businesses, each company is held to the same standards one would expect of a Fortune 500 company or any other business. Winners are selected not only for innovation and excellence, but also for their demonstration of strong business ethics. In addition, winners ideally have positive relationships with their community and show a commitment to philanthropy.

The 2017 Washington Business Journal Family-Owned Business Awards introduced an all-new group of family-run companies thriving in and benefiting the DC area. A few of the 2017 honorees included Family and Nursing Care, Yates Service Inc., TriVision, and Lee Group Development. The 2017 awards also recognized one of the region's longest-run family businesses S. Freedman & Sons, Inc., which dates back to 1907.
