Staying “State of the Art” requires an average of 35 hours of training per employee, but we started out as: “A Family Business” back in 1958
The family business started in 1958 in Phoenix, AZ. In 1959, our patriarch opened a Humble Oil Gas Station on the SE corner of 44th Street and Thomas Road (pictured at right in December 1963). The land behind the gas station was a farm and some customers brought their car in for an oil change and let their children play with the lambs on the farm behind the station. That location was run by the family for 30 years until the lease expired and the new mall was to be built. From there, the second generation purchased facilities of their own and have continued to serve the community they have grown up in!
