Huck's Food & Fuel

Huck's Food & Fuel, formerly known as Huck's Now, is a chain of convenience stores headquartered in Carmi, Illinois operating as a subsidiary of Martin & Bayley, Inc. As of August 2018, there are over 120 Huck's stores located across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee.[1]

Huck's was founded in 1960, beginning its existence as Big John's Supermarket, in Southern Illinois then as a supermarket chain, before becoming a chain of convenience stores in 1974, opening the first Huck's location in Grayville, Illinois. It has been an employee-owned corporation since 2001, employing over 1500 people, primarily in rural areas.[2]

Huck's was later popularized by a Twitch streamer Vargskelethor, also known as Joel. He found a Huck's Gas Station during a live stream where he played Geoguessr, a game where you try to find where you are randomly placed in the world in a Google Maps street view. This part of the stream was most well known for showing Huck's fountain drink deal, the Bigg Swigg.[3]
