It all started in 1998 when Mark Jordan, a graduate of the Citadel, returned home to Charleston with a newfound passion for the fuel and convenience store industry after working for Road Ranger, based in Rockford, Illinois. Jordan opened his first convenience store business in his native Charleston, the success of which led to a sale in 2005 to the Pantry.
