The Gavel Runs in the Family.
Kerr's Bargain Barn wasn't built overnight — it's the newest chapter of a family business that's been selling to Florida for over fifty years.
Kerr's Auction Service Is Founded
Our grandfather opens the doors on what would become the longest continuously running auction house in Jacksonville, Florida.
Passed Down to Randy Kerr
After our grandfather's passing, his son Randy Kerr takes up the gavel and carries the auction house forward.
Kevin Kerr Takes the Reins
The family tradition continues under Kevin Kerr. The original auction still runs today in Lawtey, Florida, now focused on livestock and agricultural goods.
Kevin & Lance Kerr Launch Kerr's Bargain Barn LLC
As online sales reshaped how people buy and sell, general merchandise and liquidation needed a home of its own. Brothers Kevin and Lance Kerr branch off from the family auction house to found Kerr's Bargain Barn — applying a half-century of auction-house instincts to pallets, truckloads, and the resellers who depend on them.
