How long has Gatto’s been serving Brevard? We were thinking about this when we realized that we opened our doors the same year that Disney World did, in 1971.
My dad, Mike Gatto, had already started the business and I was still in the process of moving to Florida. By a strange coincidence the very weekend when I made the trip was also the grand opening of Disney World.
I remember heading South on I-75 with my sons Mike and Scott when we hit the wall of traffic that was made up of Disney-bound folks. It was quite a sight, and quite an unexpected traffic jam. Getting to Melbourne was a bear!
But somehow we made it, and we’re glad we did. Those two little boys riding in the car with me 40 years ago now work with me every day at Gatto’s. That’s pretty magical, too.

If you need to make a trip to Disney, or even farther, you should always check the treads on your tires. Are they wearing evenly? If not, they may be over or under inflated. Bring them by one of our stores and we’ll check them for you – free!
And if you’re in the market for some new tires, here’s a way you can save some money, and maybe donate some of what you save to help support our troops.
Goodyear is running a very special program to show gratitude for the U.S. Armed Forces by raising funds for Support Our Troops, a charitable organization that helps active duty troops and their families.
When you purchase a set of four select Goodyear or Dunlop tires on the Goodyear Credit Card you can DOUBLE YOUR REBATE UP TO $160. Come on in and ask one of the go-to guys at Gatto’s how you can take advantage of this offer and how you can support our troops.
