Our Story
Ricart Automotive was founded in 1953 when the late Paul F. Ricart bought a tiny car dealership in Canal Winchester and then expanded to Route 33 at Bowen Road. He built his business serving area residents and U.S. Airmen stationed at the nearby Lockbourne Air Force Base. But with his commitment to being the Central Ohio's low-price dealer, Ricart's reputation spread. In the '60s, Paul built his third "new" Ricart dealership at Route 33 and Hamilton Road, site of today's Ricart Mega Mall.
Paul's sons, Fred Ricart and Rhett Ricart, grew Ricart into the mega dealership it is today. The guitar-strumming Fred, through thousands of TV commercials that he produced at his Ricart studio, became one of the most recognized faces in Central Ohio. Rhett is the behind-the-scenes businessman who takes care of daily operations. Now the third generation is leading the business that their grandfather founded alongside other Ricart family members.
Serving Our Community
Ricart Automotive is proud to be a community resource for charitable giving by serving a range of charities and charity sponsorships throughout Central Ohio. We focus our charitable efforts on three core pillars: Family, Veterans and Education. Being a good corporate citizen and giving back to the community has been a cornerstone of the Ricart family of businesses since our beginnings in 1953. We also offer every employee a paid volunteer day to give back to our local community! If you are interested in partnering with us, or need support, we would love to hear from you.
