Initially, Bob ran the gas station and Doris handled the accounting. Just one year later, Bob and Doris hired their first employee. The next year, they purchased the gas station across the street. In 1949, Mackin’s began a 10-year towing business.

In 1960, Bob Mackin built Mackin’s Garage on the corner of Denver Avenue and Schofield, where we are today in North Portland.
