AVENA CONTRACTING & JARRETTSVILLE FURNITURE

Frank Avena’s story is one of determination, resilience, and heart. Rising from foster care and humble beginnings, he built a successful nationwide contracting company before becoming a driving force behind Jarrettsville Furniture. Known for his bold vision and ability to make things happen quickly, Avena has helped transform the store into one of the area’s most recognized furniture destinations. But beyond business, he is deeply committed to giving back. As title sponsor of the Maryland Italian Festival, Avena proudly supports a celebration of family, heritage, and community. His leadership, generosity, and belief in helping others continue to shape both Jarrettsville Furniture and the community around it. Avena’s greatest success is not just what he’s built—but the people he continues to inspire.
