Richard Hire, president for over 50 years, had a great vision of displaying auto parts in a large showroom. His vision included providing a large selection, and discounting the items to the consumer. Richard would only settle for first place when it came to pricing and service. The formula proved to be very successful. Richard ‘s winning spirit carried over to the Fort Wayne Speedway where he raced to victory in the early 1950s. Currently, Hires has two locations in the greater Fort Wayne area operated by the 3rd and 4th generation of the Hires family.
