Humble
Beginnings
Fred Beans took a risk at a young age. Fueled by the desire to be a successful entrepreneur, he purchased Big Oak service station in the late 1950s with a $5,500 loan co-signed by his mother. His out-of-the-box marketing ideas and tireless work ethic brought Beans success, and a hunger for a bigger challenge. In 1972, he bought a 25-percent share of Bill Marsh Ford in Newtown, where his diligent efforts doubled business in the first year.

Much of this success is owed to Beans hands-on approach, even 30 years after taking ownership of his first store. Following the sentiment of not leaving his troops out in the hot sun, Beans is an approachable leader who stands beside his employees on the sales and service floors. In fact, Beans was chosen to serve with just 17 other dealer principals nationwide on the Ford Motor Company Process Improvement Steering Panel.
I enjoy coming to work each day, says Beans. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with my employees and our customers. It has always been my core belief that we are all just caretakers for future generations, and it is that which keeps me going. We are so fortunate to have so many nice customers and a great community in which to live and work.
The Fred Beans Automotive Group is a proud resident and participant in the community of Doylestown and Central Bucks County - we are striving to make a difference.
Beans has used his position and resources to give back to the community in a host of ways. Locally, he is the past recipient of Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce's Business Achievement Award, the Bucks County Council, Boy Scouts of America Top Scouting Award, and the Intelligencer newspapers Power

Family, too
The Fred Beans Automotive Group is exactly what its name suggests, a family-owned company built with pride. Beans three daughters all hold important positions within the company and customers and employees alike agree that the entire organization feels like one big happy family.
