Through God’s blessing, the business prospered, and in 1955 it was moved to a new modern baking facility in Odessa and renamed Frost Bakery Inc. Bread was distributed throughout the West Texas area. Many remember their school tours at Frost Bakery and the smells and delicious tastes of fresh hot bread. Frost served as president and manager until 1974 at which time the bakery was sold to Furrs Inc., and his son, Jack, continued the operation as president and manager. In Monahans, Frost served as deacon in First Baptist Church, Chairman of the Board of Directors of First National Bank, Monahans Lions Club, and Board of Directors of Paisano Baptist Encampment in Alpine.
