The Kent Companies is proud to be a locally owned and operated company celebrating our 60th Anniversary! We have a rich histo ... ry beginning in 1957 when E. L. "Buck" Kent founded Kent Oil and Kent Distributors. The Kent Companies are now led and owned by the second generation, Bill Kent, Buck's youngest son. Today, The Kent Companies still operate with the same attitude and spirit that made Buck such a success – challenging work, dedication to our Guests, Team Members, and a constant focus on being a guest driven quality power retailer. The company has since expanded and grown its roots in several communities which we proudly support and serve. The Kent Companies is comprised of Kent Kwik Convenience Stores, Kent Tire, Rustic Café, Kent Car Wash, Mr. Payroll Check Cashing Centers, Huddle House, Baskin-Robbins, Rustic Cafe and Kwik Eats Café. read more
