Well to the best of my knowledge....
the local Pep Boys in the Baltimore MD
area have been around since I was a little kid
(+40 years ago?) I use to buy my peddle
bicycle wheel inner tubes, reflectors, etc from them.
I always remember one store in particular, thinking
to myself how old the store seemed to be inside.
