Parker's Kitchen is a convenience store and food retail chain operating more than 110 stores across Georgia and South Carolina. Founded in 1976 in Savannah, Georgia, the family-founded business has grown over nearly five decades from a neighbourhood store into a regionally dominant operator in convenience retail, fuel retail and quick-service food. Each location sells fuel and snacks and serves a freshly prepared, Southern-inspired menu, including chicken tenders hand-breaded daily in the kitchens and made-from-scratch macaroni and cheese. The food programme has drawn national attention: Parker's Kitchen was voted the fourth best gas station for food in the United States.
The company has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing companies for seven consecutive years, and has been honoured as a USA TODAY Top Workplace. Job seekers should note the leadership structure: founder Greg Parker moved to the role of Executive Chairman in March 2025, with Brandon Hofmann promoted to chief executive. The company describes its culture as one that challenges assumptions about the convenience store format, with an emphasis on food quality and on serving the communities in which its stores operate.
Community activity is channelled through the Fueling the Community programme, launched in 2011, which supports local public and private schools. Roles across the business span store operations, food preparation and service, and fuel retail, with positions located throughout the company's Georgia and South Carolina footprint.
