Phil and Paula Wright started Big P's Pitstop (formally known as Kenco, A.K.A. Country Corner)
in New Bloomington, Ohio, May 1st 1993.
The name "Big P's Pitstop" came from another business they owned at the time "Big P's Pizzeria".
Their son Philip chose Pitstop for the store. Phil and Paula felt Pitstop was appropriate as their goal
for the small grocery/gas station was to have almost anything someone might need. Big P's Pitstop
pumps quality Marathon gas, carries a wide line of groceries, fresh cut deli meats and cheeses,
and all convenience store needs.
They have made many upgrades since 1993. In 1996, they did a major remodel of the facility, putting
in a state of the art computer monitoring system, full canopy and all new tanks for the gas pumping part
of the operation. They have upgraded all of the refrigeration throughout the year's replaced the
freezers and deli case.
Phil and Paula are hands - on kind of owners. They are very grateful to the Pitstop Crew, some who have
been with the Pitstop for many years. They would also like to take this opportunity to thank the community
for their support and friendship.
Phil and Paula always felt if they worked hard and together, treated people with kindness and respect, their
business would continue to grow. They are located on Rt 95 in New Bloomington Ohio.
