A long history of service... C.A. Albright & Sons, LLC has been serving our community for a century. Clarence Albright established his lumber coal cooperage, barrel factory, and blacksmith shop in New Baltimore near what is now called Albright Lane on Route 144. The blacksmith shop became the first automotive shop sometime early in the 1900's, and Clarence moved the automotive shop to the site on Old Route 9W as a garage and service station. The original building still exists.

The picture below shows Clarence Albright and sons. From left to right, Larry, Clarence, Wilbur, Walter, Alfred and Arthur.

Clarance A. Albright had 10 children, 7 boys and 3 girls. All seven boys worked in the business but Arthur, Larry, Walter and Ralph eventually moved on to open their own successful businesses.

In the 1930's the station offered "tubes, tires, accessories, refreshments and light lunches" . You could say that it was the first convenience store in the area. In 1940, the current garage was constructed to place the business facing the new 9W 'Superhighway'. C.A. Albright & Sons added a franchised Ford dealership, garage and service station. This was about the time that "& Sons" was added to the business name. Fuel Oil and Kerosene sales were added around this time as well.

Upon C.A.'s retirement in the early 1950's, Alfred, Ernest and Wilbur formed a three-way partnership. With Alfred's premature death in 1957, Ernest and Wilbur were left as equal partners. Ernest retired in 1976. Wilbur, his son Eugene, and Ernest's son, William formed a three-way partnership. Upon Wilbur's retirement a few years later, Gene and Bill were left as the remaining equal partners.

A new era begins . . . . In early 2010, C.A. Albright & Sons, LLC was purchased by Randy Lent. Randy’s mother, Judith Lent (Albright), was daughter to Wilbur Albright and sister to Gene Albright. Randy is a long-time employee of Wilbur, his maternal grandfather and Gene, his maternal uncle. Randy is successfully leading and growing the business into its second century. In May 2023 Randy proudly welcomed his daughter, Krista Lent-Hancock, onboard. Krista is the Executive Administrator and oversees the day-to-day operation of the offices.
