Lack's

Lack's was established in 1935 when Sam Lack, a Russian immigrant, began his 1st store in McAllen, Texas. Though he had seen many parts of the country, Lack chose S Texas for its pretty countryside and tropical climate. His successful career as a merchant started in a modest building at the corner of Main and Beaumont in downtown McAllen. America's love affair with automobiles during the 1930s and their growing accessibility convinced Lack to build a specialty business selling auto parts. Under his watchful eye and with tireless support from his family, his business flourished.
