Building a Legacy
Frank Motors has special reason to celebrate. The Fornaca family commemorates over 100 years, as one of San Diego's oldest continuously operated family businesses. It's a story of hard work, perseverance and caring for the community. In 1912, after arriving from Italy, Mario Fornaca opened the doors to his bakery in San Diego with the aroma of fresh baked bread. His sons Frank and Felice and his daughter Louisa grew the Fornaca bakery from humble beginnings to the largest in San Diego.
In 1965, the Frank and Felice expanded their business by opening Frank Lincoln Mercury and shortly thereafter, Frank Toyota, both located in National City. In 1986 they opened Frank Hyundai. Today Frank Motors group has grown to include Frank Subaru. The business has been passed on to the next generations with son Ron Fornaca and son-in-law Gary Fenelli running the dealerships. Today, six family members work on a daily basis at the Frank Motors Group with the same commitment to customer care as Mario Fornaca established 100 years ago. The Fornaca family is proud to support the community and thanks all of you for your business over the years!
