About Stinker

Founded in 1936, Stinker is a family-owned convenience retailer serving communities throughout Idaho, Colorado, and Wyoming.

We got our name in a fight. In 1936, a 20-year-old named Farris Lind opened a service station in Twin Falls and started selling gasoline for less than the major oil companies thought he should. They didn’t take it well. When one of them told a newspaper that Farris Lind was a real stinker, he took it as a compliment, put the word on his stations, and drew a skunk wearing red boxing gloves—Polecat Pete.

The gloves came first, and they were never a joke. Farris spent his career punching above his weight on behalf of the Guest, and a small Idaho company that refused to be pushed around had to be willing to fight for what it believes in. Ninety years later, that spirit is still part of who we are. We fight for our employees. We fight for our Guests.

Our purpose is simple:

To make our world a better place by being a bright spot in the lives we touch, one employee, one guest, and one community at a time.

We still know how to have fun; our mascot is a skunk, after all. But take a close look at Pete: he’s got his gloves on.

• Safely use a step stool or step ladder
• Lift and carry up to 50 pounds
