History
E-Z Park Inc. is owned and operated by the Spear Family. The Spear family has been engaged in the parking business since the early 1900s. Great Grandfather, Abe Spear owned and operated a livery stable on South 3rd Street, which later became Spear's Garage, one of the first commercial parking garages in the country. The family business became known as E-Z Park Inc. in the early 1950s. Abe's son, Leon Spear, came home from WWII and joined the business. He took over the business, in the early 1950s, when Abe Spear retired. He incorporated the company and changed the name to E-Z Park Inc. During this time Leon Spear married his life, long, love Jeanette, who became his partner in the business. Their sons, Robert Spear and Harvey Spear, the current owners joined the business after finishing college. They took on a major expansion that changed Center City Philadelphia parking. The family matriarch Jeanette Spear, now in her 80s and retired still plays a large role in the daily business.
