14 Jun 2026 Men of the Moment 2026: Aaron Grimes

Aaron Grimes knows what it means to carry on a family legacy while embracing the future. As president and co-owner of Capitol Glass Company and a pharmacist at CHI St. Vincent, he balances two demanding careers with a commitment to excellence, innovation and family. 

Founded by his grandfather, Jack Grimes, in 1950, Capitol Glass has been a fixture in Central Arkansas for generations. His father, Glenn Grimes, dedicated 50 years to the business and led the company for more than three decades before Grimes stepped into operations in 2022.

He grew up around the shop, working summers during high school and learning firsthand the value of hard work and customer care.

Today, he is helping lead the company into a new era. As vehicles have evolved with advanced driver-assistance systems, the auto glass industry has changed dramatically. Grimes invested heavily in new tools, software and technology to ensure Capitol Glass remains at the forefront of safety and innovation. 

“We take great pride in doing our part to keep the drivers of Central Arkansas and their families safe on the road,” he said.

One of his proudest accomplishments was stepping away from the family business at age 30 to attend pharmacy school. After working five years as a pharmacist, he returned with fresh ideas and organizational strategies that have strengthened Capitol Glass in a rapidly changing industry.

Outside of work, he enjoys an active outdoor lifestyle with his family. From wakeboarding and snowboarding to dirt bikes and hiking, adventure has always been part of the Grimes family culture. But more than anything else, Grimes’ greatest pride is his children, Mackenzie, Ryder and Aspen. He also remains deeply committed to supporting local organizations and mentoring the next generation through community involvement and leadership.
