Frank’s Auto Supermarket started as Frank’s Auto Supply in 1938 in Brownsville, Pa, by David Frank. His son, Morley, opened the Uniontown location in 1952 based on selling auto parts & accessories at discount prices. The stores expanded into fishing tackle for many years. Morley’s children, Wendy, David, and Rick have also been active in expanding the business over the past 30+ years.
"My family has been very blessed to have such wonderful customers. And I have worked with hundreds of smart, talented, and dedicated people over the years. I’ve always valued and respected the commitment of our people and the loyalty of our customers. This was more than a business, it was a great big family. I can't thank everyone enough for supporting us over the last 78 years. We couldn't have done it without you" Rick Frank, President of Frank's Auto Supermarket stores.
