Frank Fritz’s journey to recovery has been encouraging. Over the past year, the former American Pickers star has been in the spotlight not only for his health struggles but also for his rumored rift with co-star Mike Wolfe. After suffering a stroke, updates on Fritz’s condition were sparse, but recent reports bring positive news.
An insider close to Fritz shared that his recovery is progressing steadily. While full recovery from a stroke is rare, Fritz appears to be regaining his strength and is now able to resume some of his normal activities. This includes returning to his lifelong passion—picking.
Despite facing health challenges, Fritz hasn’t stepped away from the world of picking entirely. In fact, he’s actively involved in the business and even opened his own store, “Frank Fritz Finds.” He’s also adapted to new ways of pursuing his hobby, such as buying and selling items online. As a collector and motorcycle enthusiast, his favorite finds are vintage signs, something he’s been passionate about for years.
Though being let go from American Pickers was difficult for him at first, recent reports suggest Fritz has made peace with the situation. He’s even reconnected with Mike Wolfe and enjoys watching the new episodes, either on the History Channel or through his Peacock subscription.
While Fritz’s relationships have improved, a small group of fans still hope to see him back on the show with Wolfe. However, due to his reduced mobility following the stroke, a full return to television may not be feasible. These days, Fritz prefers to keep a low profile and spend most of his time at home.
Fritz’s progress, both physically and in his personal relationships, is a testament to his resilience. Though he may not be returning to American Pickers, his continued dedication to picking and his work at his new store demonstrate that his passion remains strong.
