Hello and thank you for visiting Grill Parts America. My name is Andrew Ilio and I am the proud owner of Grill Parts America or GPA as we sometimes call it. The story of Grill Parts America is not one for the movies, but rather one developed through hard work and much trial and error. Before starting GPA I was leading a website development company. This was in the earlier 2000s when putting up a good website cost a lot of money and took a very long time to get it right.
After years of providing people with the web tools they needed to get their companies on top, I thought to myself, there are better ways to run an e-commerce business that truly puts the customer's needs and wants in the drivers seat while making it fun and easy to buy online. I wanted to build something in a category or niche that I saw value in and that others had a need that was not being met. People always say to sell what you love and what you are passionate about. Well, I love cooking, but more specifically I love grilling for my friends and family. Some of the best times I ever had were with that charcoal smoke filling the air, surrounded by our friends. These days we need more of that connection than ever before.
In 2009, the idea was born... I'm going to sell grill parts and Grill Parts America got it's first sale .... my family bought a grill knob from my garage. HA!!
I'm not going to bore you with the details, but lets just say it was easier said than done. After many years of hard work and sacrifices from myself and my family, we made it work. Customer by customer we did the best we could by each person that placed an order with us. Hundreds of thousands of wonderful customers, tens of thousands of quality products and hundreds of reliable suppliers later we reached the store you see today and we are proud of our baby ... Grill Parts America!
