The Mighty Distribution System of America franchise is for a business providing wholesale distribution of auto parts. It was founded in 1963 and started franchising in 1970.
It was founded by Dallas Wallace. Their mission is to be able to serve the professionals in the automotive repair industry using high standard products and excellent customer support. What they do source OEM’s with the finest quality from leading manufacturers around the world.
