About
Calloway Oil Company was founded in 1957 by Hugh
and Helen Calloway. At the time of the opening,
Mr. Calloway was a 10 year employee of Phillips
Petroleum Company and in 1957 had visions of
introducing Phillips 66 to East Tennessee. By
1959 Calloway Oil Company had 11 accounts and Mr.
and Mrs. Calloway haven’t looked back since. In
the 1980’s service stations started vanishing
throughout East Tennessee and were being replaced
with convenient stores. E-Z Stop Food Marts was
founded in 1984, with the intention of being the
next generation of convenient stores. In the
beginning E-Z Stop Food Marts’ were primarily
Phillips 66 sites, but in 1992 a contract with
Exxon was signed and Calloway Oil Company and E-Z
Stop Food Marts became co-branded companies.
Today, Hugh M. Calloway Jr. is the CEO of Calloway
Oil Company and Tommy F. Hunt is the CEO of E-Z
Stop Food Marts. There are 22 E-Z Stop sites
spread throughout East Tennessee and it still
prides itself on being the next generation of
convenient stores.
