According to a sports survey taken in the late 1960\’s, fans chose professional football as their \”favorite\’ sport. Leagues at that time spent $7 million to sign their draft choices.
Also, in that decade, Gloucester City residents chose Carr\’s Hardware as their favorite store for purchasing necessities at a decent price to keep their \”favorite\” place –HOME- in good repair.
Frank Carr, Sr. and family, who lived on Hudson Street, opened Carr\’s Hardware in 1966. The store was located at that time on Monmouth Street.
Frank, Sr. met his wife to be at the Hampton House, a dance hall in Oaklyn, married Jean and had three children. Son, Frank Carr III, daughters, Kathy and Sue along with their mother all continue to serve their customers in a friendly manner. The store moved to 22 Monmouth Street in 1974.
