FriendShip has been family-owned and -operated since 1986. Founder Bill Beck and son Brian started FriendShip with one thing in mind: treating customers like guests in their own home.
They opened the first two FriendShip stores in Port Clinton, Ohio, a shoreline community on Lake Erie.
For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2026.
