B.K. Sweeney


BK Sweeney Auto Supplies, 9429 East Colfax Avenue (undated photo courtesy of the Shorty Hanger collection and scanned by Todd Matuszewicz)

9429 East Colfax was home to Stop & Shop Super Market in the 1940s before BK Sweeney opened there in 1949. By November 1956, the building was home to Creel Automotive. Advertisements from 1933 show that the address was once home to Joe's Battery Service, a supporting business of the National Recovery Administration, which was established by FDR during the Great Depression.
