Former owners describe history of Maricopa NAPA Autocare after demolition
by Katie Sawyer | Maricopa Monitor
For much of the history of NAPA Autocare in Maricopa, it was a family affair, intertwined in the fabric of an old farming community.
Don and Esta Ray Pearce owned the store from 1959 to the mid 1990s, and their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren would be in and out of the shop like it was a second home.
“Even Colby, who’s the great granddaughter, was down underneath the desk right in the office,” said Linda Pearce, daughter of Don and Esta Ray.
