In 1962, the business was incorporated, with Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Brabham as President and Vice-President, respectively. In 1970, Brabham retired and McCully assumed managing control of the company. In the 1980's, the business added British Petroleum, Shell, and Chevron as primary wholesale suppliers. In the late 1980's, the company added McCully's sons, Robert McCully, Jr. and Clarence B. (Brab) McCully to the management team. Under this family management through the 1990's, the company grew the E-Z Shop chain of convenience stores to be one of the largest and most recognized chains in SC. At the turn of the century, the company realized a need for a private label gasoline brand to compete in the marketplace and to meet a growing value oriented customer base. The Horizon brand was developed to meet this need, and has grown to serving over 30 locations across SC today. Brabham Oil Company, Inc. owns all rights to the Horizon brand developing it for use at its own EZ Shop locations, as well as customer locations it supplies. Brabham Oil Company, Inc. is currently managed by Clarence B. (Brab) McCully and continues to exemplify the traditions and quality of service it has become known for. |
