‘Fearless Farris’ started the first Stinker gas station in 1936. After more than 60 years of being owned by the Lind family , the 40 Fearless Farris Stinker gas stations and convenience stores have new owners. The company’s distinctive logo — a skunk wearing boxing gloves — will remain. Shawn Davis, a long-time Stinker employee and his business partner Charley Jones, finalized the purchase of the company on Monday.
