Frechette Tire celebrates 50 years in business

CONWAY — As a tire and automotive repair business, the Frechette family has seen long days, early mornings, cold hands, mountains of tires and plenty of vehicles in need of repairs. They have also seen something much bigger. There have been generations of customers, family members who became employees, employees who have become family and a business that has grown alongside the community it serves for half a century.

When George and Joline (Jobie) Frechette opened the garage in May 1976, they had no idea they were starting a family tradition that would reach its golden anniversary.
