Here in Garland, Texas, for as long as I can remember, there has been a local business named Knight's Foreign Auto Parts. If you do a search you will probably find mention of it several times on this group as well as mention that the owner died some months back. His wife is now selling the business. Right now it is closed. Coldwell Banker is the realtor, if the sign in front is to be believed.
This store has been selling to the ACVW community of North Texas for decades. It is an established business. I've considered trying to buy it, but have come to the conclusion that I'm most likely not well suited to selling in a retail environment since I just don't have the patience it would require (John C. understands, I'm sure!:~)
This business can be bought. It is for sale. Anyone in the DFW area interested in keeping a viable local supply house for ACVW parts open???
