Founded in 1965 by Joan and Joseph Zeppo, our store originally began as a Western Auto, offering a wide variety of auto parts and accessories. As times changed, so did the needs of our community. In the early years, Joan and Joseph transitioned the store into a popular video rental hub, providing local families with the latest movies and entertainment.
In the late 1980s, their son, David Zeppo, took the helm and reimagined the store once again. Recognizing an opportunity to provide quality home furnishings to the area, David expanded the business to include furniture, appliances, and electronics. Under his leadership, the store grew into a beloved local destination for families outfitting their homes with top-quality pieces at affordable prices.
Joan worked alongside her family for nearly six decades, continuing to offer her dedication and expertise until her full retirement in late 2022. Joseph, too, remained an integral part of the store until his passing in 2024 at the age of 95. His legacy lives on through the values and community focus he instilled in the business over the years.
Now, as of January 1st, 2025, Joan and Joe’s great-grandson, Ty, has taken the reins and is continuing the legacy of Zeps. In honor of his great-grandfather, Joseph, and with respect for his grandmother, Joan, and grandfather, David, Ty made the decision to keep the name Zep's as a tribute to the family’s history. With a fresh perspective and a deep respect for the store’s rich past, Ty is excited to lead Zep’s into the future while upholding the values of quality, service, and community that have made us a trusted name for generations.
Ty holds the same values as Joan, Joe, and David. He is committed to providing Fayette County with the best service possible. If there’s something we don’t carry in-store, he will always go the extra mile to try and get it for you. Whether it’s helping you find the perfect piece for your home or ensuring you have a seamless shopping experience, Ty’s priority is to continue the legacy of excellence that has been the cornerstone of Zep’s for decades.
Under Ty’s leadership, Zep’s is also undergoing an exciting transformation. He’s revamped the store to include a larger showroom, showcasing even more furniture and appliances than before, allowing our customers to experience a wider selection of high-quality products up close. This new space offers a more spacious and enjoyable shopping experience, helping our customers find the perfect items for their homes.
For nearly six decades, our family has been committed to providing exceptional products and service to the community. Today, we remain a proud family-owned business with the same passion and dedication that Joan, Joseph, David, and now Ty, have poured into it. We’re not just a store—we’re part of the fabric of this community, helping make homes comfortable, beautiful, and functional, one piece at a time.
