This month’s Business Icon is Arcadia Service Center located at 40 E. Duarte Road, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. This recognition pays tribute to longstanding businesses in Arcadia for their ongoing contribution to the financial health of the City and to the historical cultural fabric of the community.
Arcadia Service Center was established in 1994 by two brothers, Samy and Simon Siriani, who attended Arcadia schools Holly Avenue, Dana Junior High, and Arcadia High School, and whose father and uncles owned six service stations in the area. They took over an auto dealership and specialized in superior mechanics. Since the death of Simon a few years ago, Samy and his five assistants continue to provide outstanding service.
