On the Moss Motors property on Surrey Street in Lafayette, you'll find Moss BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Honda.  Snuggled behind Moss Mercedes, between BMW and Honda there's a door marked 'Private'.  Many people walk by it everyday not thinking much of it.  In the early beginnings of the Moss empire, behind that door, is the very first office for Sharon Moss.  Her personal private space and retreat.

Mrs. Moss' private suite is now located in Moss Honda and she will soon have a brand new suite in the new Mercedes-Benz dealership being built on Johnston Street in South Lafayette near Rouses.  But about 25 years ago, in the very beginning, she occupied the space behind the 'Private' door located in the middle of a short walkway behind the current Mercedes-Benz dealership.  Carpet and hardwood floors with a beautiful bathroom/changing area.  This space is now home to Moss Marketing Director, Eric Robicheaux,

The bathroom area is where the Sharon Moss elegance is most noticeable.  The walls are a hand-painted leopard print with beautiful dark wood accents.  The story goes, Moss had a painter project a leopard print on the walls using a projector to create an authentic leopard print.  Word has it, he worked on it for a few weeks, but Sharon didn't like it.  So he started over.

The woodwork is all painted black, the counter-tops rich black and floor tile to match the tan in the painted walls.  The office has beautiful windows in the office and bathroom that are made of square glass blocks designed for privacy.

Sharon Moss inherited the head position of Moss Motors after the passing of her husband William (Billy-Jack) Moss over 25 years ago.  Back then she was considered a woman in a 'man's world'.  Through hard work, perseverance, determination, making friends and a few enemies along the way, and through the love or her family, friends and community all while remembering her roots, Sharon K. Moss has built Moss Motors into the very deserving mega auto superstore it is today.
