Default What Happened to Sta-Rite Golf Carts

After calling Sta-Rite all morning, I took a ride over to their shop in Fruitland Park. Business was closed and locked up tight.

Another customer stopped while I was there and commented that Frank was having back problems. What a shame if this business closes, especially after the excellent on-line support that Frank has given on TOTV over the years. Frank, if you’re listening, hope you’re feeling better.

Default Sta-Rite the best

Crazy about these people. VERY honest and good at what they do. I hope Frank is OK and the business is able to continue, we need places like this in The Villages!

Closed a business to a bad back? If it was a successful business, why didn't he sell it, hire a manager to run it, closing it doesn't seem like the right approach.

Yes, i called just after the New Year and the woman who answered the phone said he closed at the end of the year due to health issues.
He is a great guy! Hoping that all is well and that’s he’s relaxing and enjoying actually being retired!

Call the local Par Car factory assembly/service office (352) 323-8006. It is in Leesburg.
