History
Founded in 1972, Spinx operates 80 convenience store locations and 50 car washes across South Carolina and North Carolina. The company has also raised money for the American Cancer Society.
The company's gas stations also sell fried chicken, chicken biscuits, and chicken tenders. Writing for It's a Southern Thing, Mary Patterson Boone gave it a negative review, stating "if I'm fantasizing about fast-food fried chicken while eating something claiming to be better because it's the opposite, something isn't quite clicking."
