Company History
In June 1958 Fletcher Johnson began his consignee relationship with Humble Oil and Refining Company. Johnson Oil began
with
a staff of two - Fletcher, who was the "jack of all trades" and a truck driver. During this time Johnson Oil worked
strictly on commissions from Humble, based on the amount of products sold. In 1980, after twenty-two years of being a
consignee, Johnson Oil Company became an Exxon distributor. This was monumental to JOC's growth. In the following years
various distributorships were purchased and consolidated to form the network of bulk plants that comprise Johnson Oil
Company. The corporate office remains in Gonzales with satellite plants in New Braunfels, Pflugerville, Temple and
Abilene,
Texas.
Soon after becoming a distributor the industry began to shift toward distributor operated convenience stores. In 1985 Tiger
Tote Food Stores was born with its first store in Luling, Texas. Today the chain consists of 23 stores in 11 counties
and
currently employs 240 people.
