About Edisto Gas
Our Story
In 1884, the seeds of what would become Edisto Gas were planted. By 1920, the company, then known as Columbia Petroleum, was incorporated and firmly rooted at Lady and Pulaski Street. Starting off under the Echo Gas brand, we primarily offered lubricants, fuel oil, and kerosene. It wasn’t long before in 1927, we expanded our horizons and proudly launched our first full-service station at Gervais and Williams Street.
Brand Evolution
1928-1933: Echo Gas transitioned to a partnership with Shell, marking a pivotal shift in our branding.
1940: Seeking more avenues to serve our customers, we relocated our office to Main and Elmore Street, culminating in the grand opening of the Gulf Oil Plant.
1949: Recognizing the growing demand for propane, the Edisto Gas propane division was born, adding a vital service to our portfolio.
1954: Change was once again in the air when we relocated our offices to their current home on Beltline Blvd. This move coincided with our becoming a Phillips 66 distributor. Showcasing our commitment and capability, we impressively converted 84 Gulf Oil locations to Phillips 66 within a mere 24-hour span.
1955: Setting records is in our nature. In December 1955, we proudly became the first Phillips 66 distributor to break the barrier of delivering over 1,000,000 gallons in a single month.
1964: Addressing the growing needs of our propane clientele, we opened our first remote propane office in Orangeburg, SC.
1975: As customer convenience evolved, so did we. 1975 saw the inauguration of our first Gaz-Bah Mini Shop at 1501 Bluff Road. Today, we are proud to operate 3 Exxon Brand locations and 3 unbranded locations.
