The root of Anderson Automotive, Inc. goes back to the
1950's. As a high school student in the 1940's, Arthur
Anderson worked at Mr. Foote's Esso fueling station
located on the southeast corner of the intersection of
Derby Avenue and Forest Road in West Haven. In 1955,
Arthur founded Anderson Esso at that location and
continued operating there until 1963. He then moved his
business across the street to 449 Derby Avenue where it
remains today. In 1975, Arthur was joined by his son,
Keith, and the business expanded to include automotive
and truck repair. In 1983, Anderson Automotive, Inc.
was incorporated with Keith as President. Arthur was
content to stay on with his son, until his retirement in
2002. Keith has continued to operate Anderson
Automotive, Inc. on the principles established by his
father - professional service with personal attention
and care.
