Magnolia Collision Center holds Ribbon Cutting

VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — After a few months in business, Magnolia Collision Center held its grand opening at its location on Pemberton Boulevard, behind Murphy’s Express.

A large crowd of supporters showed up to wish the new business well, including Mayor Willis Thompson and Alderwoman Vickie Bailey. Owner Devin Dillon said, “I want to be known as a company that helps the community. We work with the community. We’re here to last, and we’re here to be here for a while.”

Dillon took over the former Thorne’s Collision Center in 2025 and has been establishing himself in the community, but was quick to acknowledge the team he’s assembled. “Without these guys, I have nothing. Without these guys, we’re not pushing out the cars, we’re not making the money, we’re not keeping the lights on.” Dillon then thanked Randy Thorne for helping him to get the business going and up to speed. “He knocked it out of the park for me.”

Magnolia Collision Center does collision repair, restoration, and truck bed liners. They are open 8 to 5 Monday through Friday.
