About Us

Our History

Our commitment to provide products and services that help you thrive at work, at home and on the road has never changed.

In 1966, Tom & Jo Shirley purchased Home Oil Company, Inc. in Ashford, Alabama. Through Tom & Jo’s commitment to hard work, customer service, and family values, the small Phillips 66 distributorship has grown into a thriving business. The first convenience store was purchased in 1978, and in 1988 the Hobo Pantry brand was born. Today we operate 26 Hobo Pantry stores located throughout southeast Alabama.
Since 1966, we have aimed to understand the needs of our customers in regard to fuel and convenience products.
