Is Frank Fritz’s store closing down after his stroke?

Frank Fritz no longer works for the reality TV show American Pickers. Yet, he still owned his own antiques and collectibles store called Frank Fritz Finds. The store is located in Savanna, Illinois, and we have some great news.

While Frank is still hospitalized and recovering from his stroke, his store is still open and will remain open. “Frank Fritz Finds will remain open.

There is more good news for American Pickers fans cheering for Frank Fritz’s recovery. While things looked bad after his stroke when a friend found him on the floor unable to move or communicate, he is improving as his father shared some good news about his condition. Frank’s dad Bill Fritz said that Frank is now in “stable” condition.

Will Frank return to ‘American Pickers’?

While Frank is recovering and fans are praying for his return to health, he is not likely to return to American Pickers. That is because Mike Wolfe is already working on filming the next season of the show. This is likely to make fans angry about Frank’s termination even angrier, knowing the show is not only going on without him but almost dismissing the fact that Frank almost died.

Frank left American Pickers in 2020 when he took time off to recover from back surgery. However, with rumors of alcohol addiction plaguing him, Mike reportedly pulled the trigger and had his childhood friend fired from the show. Frank said he called producers but never got a straight answer.

Before his stroke, Frank said that he was in talks with a producer who lived in Las Vegas about a spinoff show that would feature him as the main star. With the way fans have been talking since Frank left American Pickers, it would have been interesting to see how the two shows would compare and possibly to see which show had the biggest ratings. That isn’t likely to happen now, as Frank’s number one concern has to be recovering and getting healthy again.
