The company traces its origins to 1949, when founder R. L. Jordan established Gas 4 Less, the first gasoline station in the area to offer high-quality unbranded gasoline. Jordan’s business journey began after his service in the U.S. Army, where he was tasked with managing accounting systems for hotels in Tokyo. Upon returning to the United States, he utilized funds saved by his mother to launch his first venture. Jordan became a pioneer in self-service gasoline in the southeast, being the first to introduce the concept in Georgia and many parts of North and SC. He also established a distribution network for unbranded gasoline, selling and delivering fuel to neighboring stations and helping place approximately 100 people in the retail gasoline business.

In 1981, Dan Durbin was hired to run the oil company, bringing extensive experience in convenience food store operations. Today, Jordan Oil Company continues to construct and operate state-of-the-art fueling facilities, convenience stores, and branded food stores. Hot Spot of Columbia serves the local area by providing fuel, food, and beverages. The business maintains a focus on offering great products at competitive prices.

Hot Spot of Columbia is situated on Farrow Road, just 55 metres from the intersection with Academy Street and about 0.2 miles from EB Sessions Park.
