Half a century ago, Edgar Hughston established Hughston Homes Builders in Columbus, Georgia with the goal of helping local families achieve their dreams of new homeownership. In 2002, Jack Hughston joined his father with the same intense passion and goals in mind. From this humble beginning, fast forward over half a century of significant expansion and growth, and Hughston Homes is an Employee-Owned company (ESOP) building brand new homes in several prime Georgia and Alabama locations. In 2021, Hughston Homes proudly announced the completion of a transaction to become 100% Employee-Owned through its newly formed Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The secret news was announced to Hughston’s employees by President Richie Eubanks at their monthly corporate meeting. Eubanks began by asking what commonality Hughston Homes had with Publix, joking that it wasn’t just the shared brand color “green” before revealing that the employees were the new owners. Hughston Homes was advised by Steve James, President and CEO of SCJ Fiduciary Services who specializes in employee-ownership transactions. Appointed trustee to the newly created ESOP, James’ goal is to secure a sustainable future for Hughston Homes in a manner that is highly beneficial to its employees while allowing room for excelling even faster.
