Here’s What Is Happening To The Tom Thumb In Molino
February 11, 2026
Construction fencing surrounds a portion of the Tom Thumb in Molino, with gas pumps blocked off.
We reached out to EG America, which owns the store, to find out future plans, and learned that the construction is part of a long-awaited rebrand of the store located at the intersection of Highway 29 and Highway 97.
“We’re excited to continue investing in and serving the Molino community as part of our ongoing rebranding and store enhancement efforts,” EG America told NorthEscambia.com by email.
“The Tom Thumb location (in Molino) is slated to transition to the Cumberland Farms brand, with the updated store opening in April. The store will remain open throughout the construction process, and we look forward to welcoming customers and introducing them to Cumberland Farms and Krispy Krunchy Chicken.”
In March 2022, EG America announced it will rebrand its Tom Thumb store locations to the Cumberland Farms brand starting in May 2022. The $50 million project was set to span two years and include 113 Tom Thumb locations and new locations across Florida and Alabama.
Since that time, most Tom Thumbs in the area underwent the rebrand.
EG America, a subsidiary of EG Group, operates over 1,700 locations across ten brands throughout the USA – Cumberland Farms, Certified Oil, Fastrac Café, KwikShop, Loaf ‘N Jug, Minit Mart, QuikStop, Sprint Food Stores, Tom Thumb, and Turkey Hill.

I’m Pastor Wes, and I’m starting to believe this construction project is a test of my patience… possibly a spiritual one.
All I wanted was to pull in, get some gas, and be on my way. Instead I’m navigating cones, fences, and blocked pumps like I’m competing in an obstacle course. I half expect someone to hand me a helmet and a map at this point.
My daily routine used to take five minutes. Now it takes long enough for me to reflect on my life choices, my grocery list, and at least two sermon ideas.
I’m sure the new store will be nice when it’s done—but until then, if anyone needs me, I’ll be circling the parking lot, praying for an open pump and the strength to keep my coffee from getting cold.
I’m not pastor Wes but I don’t like this either
Maybe someday there will be competition on the other corner.
My husband isn’t gonna like this…
I don’t like this
They need to change the side entrance road and place it further down 97. That is a terrible spot for traffic turning and holding up the turn lane from 29. Stupid design.
Ooooh, Pastor Wes is not gonna like this.
