The conservatorship papers exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun revealed plans to revamp the store.
The Initial Plan filed by conservator MidWestOne Bank read: “Mr. Fritz is a well-known collector and has numerous outbuildings full of valuable collections.
“The conservator has not yet inventoried those items but plans to leave them largely as they are now, with the exception of stocking Mr. Fritz’s antique store in Savannah, IL as needed.
“Conservator is hopeful [Frank] will be able to participate in selection and pricing of items as he did previously.”
FRANK'S FIRING
Frank last appeared on American Pickers during a March 2020 episode, as he took time off to recover from back surgery that left him with 185 stitches and two rods in his spine.
He also told The U.S. Sun that he entered rehab for alcohol addiction in Iowa for 77 days.
Frank revealed his feud with co-star Mike during the 2021 interview with The U.S. Sun.
But a friend told The Quad-City Times that Frank and Mike had a tearful reunion over Memorial Day Weekend.
A source claimed to The U.S. Sun, “Everything between them is fine. They’ve known each other for 40 years. They went to high school, they’ve done all this stuff together."
The insider said Mike has visited Frank a handful of times since he suffered the stroke, as the two call and text today as well.
FRANK TODAY
The U.S. Sun previously reported Frank remains in an assisted living facility to help with physical therapy, as he continues to have a long road to recovery ahead.
“Frank lost verbal and mobile, so that’s where he has been. He is still in an assisted living facility," a source close to Mike claimed.
The insider continued to claim that while Frank “got his verbal back,” working on mobility has been a struggle for the star.
“It’s been very difficult for him to find motivation. He found the motivation to talk, but the physical therapy he just… he’s not there yet," the source claimed.
But a second source close to Frank’s loved ones claimed he is taking the recovery at his own pace.
“He’s been working really hard to not overdo himself and stress himself out and honor his health," the second insider said.
