[edit] History
The company was founded in 1955 by the Mills family (Stewart C. Mills, Sr., Stewart C. Mills, Jr, and Henry C. Mills II), owners of several auto dealers, as Fleet Wholesale Supply in Marshfield, Wisconsin. It took its present name in 1960. The company is based in Brainerd, Minnesota. The Mills family still owns the business.
Their motto is variously stated to be:
- "The Man's Mall"
- "Supplies For Life"
- "Fleet Boutique"
- "If Fleet Farm Doesn't Have It, You Don't Need It"
- "Service with a smile"
