Our Story
In 1967, Bobby Thompson's dream became a reality when he opened Beaumont Plaza Sunoco. In '77 he changed locations and renamed the business just a few times. Bobby was the proud owner of Thompson's Exxon, Thompson's Boron, Thompson's Gulf, and finally Thompson's BP. The BP was a full-service gas station, auto repair shop, and towing service. Bobby's wife, Coleen, was with him every step of the way. She began record-keeping with a pad, pencil, and record books. They began with one 1956 Dodge pick up and one tow truck when they became a AAA service provider in 1973.

1984 brought a second-generation Thompson to the family business. Bobby and Coleen's son, David, headed off to college on a baseball scholarship but soon realized his heart wasn't in it - he really wanted to work with his Dad and make Thompson's B.P. a real "family business."

1995, David's first-born, Mason, becomes the business' newest employee...unofficially.

In 2011, Thompson's BP let go of gas and rebranded to become
