Harold Fredrickson, Sr., started Apache Sands in 1956 at the corner of the now Sossaman and E. Main St. in Mesa, Arizona. It was operated by Harold and his young son by the same name as a standard gas station and repair shop until 1964 when an older Harold "Hal" Fredrickson, Jr. became the owner. In 1969, the station began its association with Mobil Oil and continued to grow. In 1976, Hal and his wife, Pat, incorporated and became Apache Sands Service Center, Inc. and has continued its growth and expansion to its current size of having over 100 employees on its six acre automotive complex. Hal continues as President, Pat as Vice-President and their children hold key management positions. This family owned business has been a major employer in the "East Valley" for many years.
