Homer obtained his first franchise for bus service between Escondido and Oceanside in 1945. Founded in 1941, Homer Heller and his wife Helen operated the dealership which started on a small corner on Grand Avenue. Homer Heller's second location at 400 West Grand avenue and Freeway 395 (now Center City Parkway) was two years in planning. The two-story concrete block structure of modernistic design featured expansive plate glass show windows and a special display window where the latest model revolved (1951-1983). Stop by and say hello to these fine people and see what being part of the Heller family really means!
