Mantua – Rick Frato is committed to helping his neighbors retire with dignity. With the opening of his new financial services firm on Main Street, he is in the perfect position to fulfill that hometown commitment.
The Edward Jones financial advisor invites the public to join him at a grand opening celebration starting at 2 p.m. on Friday, January 7 at his office at 10803 Main Street, Suite C. (south door entrance) of the University Hospitals building, in the old village school. Various activities are planned, including a ribbon-cutting ceremony, refreshments and door prizes.
Frato is a graduate of Crestwood High School and Hiram College. He not only lives in Mantua and has established his business here, but he also is a member of The Mantua-Shalersville Chamber of Commerce, The Mantua Rotary Club and The Downtown Mantua Revitalization Corporation. When he states that this community and its people are important to him, his walk confirms his talk.
Frato opened the office in Mantua because this is where he, his wife and five children share a home. However, this office serves surrounding areas including Hiram, Garrettsville and Shalersville. He is licensed in several states and has clients all over the country. Previously an operations manager with Kellogg’s in Cincinnati, Frato has a background in finance and operations management. After joining Edward Jones, he relocated back to Mantua to open his own hometown office.
Frato is passionate about people planning for their retirement and also making sure they have enough life insurance so their families won’t have to struggle without them. All too often, he has encountered people who are getting ready to retire within five or six years, but are just now starting to consider a financial plan to prepare for it.
