A third store was opened on the South side of Indianapolis in 1971, and two years later another store opened in Anderson, Indiana. In 1974, Henry Harold passed away and Gerald assumed his father’s position of President. A fifth location was opened on the East side of Indianapolis the following year- the same year Gerald’s son Jerry Throgmartin joined the family business.
