Brothers Steve and Andrew Voudouris, and their partner Chris Francy are no strangers to success. Together the 2009 Small Business Administration’s Young Entrepreneurs of the Year have created a multi-million dollar business selling computer, automotive, and specialty products online. AmericanMuscle.com, their most successful venture to date, has grown to become the largest online reseller of aftermarket Mustang parts and accessories. From the outset, the young company mastered the art of e-commerce and customer service, and combined with their creativity and incredible drive, have thrived despite tough competition and even tougher economic conditions. They attribute much of their success to a high attention to every detail, be it in their products, their websites, or their communication with customers.

But organizing an onsite event in the parking lot and grounds of the company’s 45,000 square foot facility, and personally meeting those enthusiastic and loyal customers new challenge...and opportunity.

“We have a lot to be thankful for,” said Steve Voudouris, COO and Partner of AmericanMuscle. “Our business has grown by leaps and bounds since we got started back in 2003. We felt very strongly about taking time to express our appreciation to the people most responsible for this success, our customers.”

The show, though not particularly huge by car show standards, was an unmitigated success for AmericanMuscle.com. With just 150 spaces available utilizing every square inch of the company’s parking space, the show quickly sold out to competitors, with many more enthusiastic Mustang fans and their cars lined up on Sunday morning hoping to squeeze in. Additional vendors included Rousch, SCT Tuning, Eibach, aFe, Edelbrock, PA Performance, Pypes Exhaust, DiabloSport, and Swarr Performance, with raffle contributions from BBK, MagnaFlow, Maximium Motorsports, Hawk, Motive, H&R and DBA Rotors.
