A TRUE FAMILY STORY
RICART HISTORY
In business, every piece of the machine (like people) relies on all other pieces working in harmony. Keep it moving and well-oiled and your machine will continue to perform efficiently!
The Beginning
How does one man convert his dream into a multi-generational success story?
This is how…
It was early in the 1950's in the small town of Canal Winchester, a small distant village south and east of Columbus Ohio. The days drifted by in the post-war economy which had brought a flurry of growth to the area.
Many small businesses made up this town. They were family-owned and served the area with traditional values. Solt Ford was a small auto mobile dealership in this town. They were completely content with selling a handful of Ford cars and trucks to the surrounding community.
