History

Founded in 1972, Spinx operates 80 convenience store locations and 50 car washes across South Carolina and North Carolina.^[3] The company has also raised money for the American Cancer Society.^[4]

The company's gas stations also sell fried chicken, chicken biscuits, and chicken tenders. Writing for It's a Southern Thing, Mary Patterson Boone gave it a negative review, stating "if I'm fantasizing about fast-food fried chicken while eating something claiming to be better because it's the opposite, something isn't quite clicking."^[5]
