Our History

Frank Gillespie Sr. left his Southern Ohio roots in the mid-1950s to work at a Sohio gas station in Columbus, and it wasn't long before he was managing the Sohio station at the corner of Fishinger and Mountview roads in Upper Arlington. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, Frank's Marathon is a family-owned and operated business that has been serving the community for over five decades.
