In 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. 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.
