| Parker’s Convenience Stores President Patrick Parker presented a check to Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation Executive Director Paul White at the Parker’s corporate office, located at 125 Marina Dr. on St. Simons Island. Over the years, Parker has supported a number of local organizations, including The St. Simons Land Trust, The Firebox Initiative, Coastal Georgia Historical Society, the Brunswick-Golden Isles Chamber of Commerce and Christ Church Frederica. “We want to increase our level of support for organizations in the community and to be actively engaged,” said Parker. “At Parker’s Convenience Stores, we are 100 percent committed to giving to local causes and want to raise our level of giving because we’re proud to be based here in Glynn County. We think it’s important to give back to the communities that have supported us over the years.” Parker has deep roots on St. Simons Island and in the Golden Isles. In 1931, his grandparents bought property on St. Simons Island and opened several popular local businesses, from hotels to gas stations, that played an important role in the history of Glynn County. Parker,
the former chairman of the Georgia Association of Convenience Stores (GACS),
opened his first Parker’s convenience store on Ocean Blvd. on St. Simons
Island in 1988 near Pier Village. Over the next 20 years, he strategically
expanded the company, opening retail stores across Glynn County as well
as in McIntosh County and Appling County. Today, Parker’s Convenience Stores
proudly serves customers at 11 retail locations across southeastern Georgia
while giving back to the community.
