Duricek’s is the longest-standing family-owned business in Rossford.
Charles Duricek founded Duricek Shell in 1952, where he sold gasoline and repaired vehicles himself. In 1982, Charles’s sons Chuck and Mike officially took ownership of what was now a SOHIO service station. In 1993, the business stopped selling gasoline and became the independently owned Duricek Automotive & Marine. Today, grandsons Nick and Nate Duricek operate the business, keeping the family name and legacy going.
