Rooted in a family-owned legacy, Hot Spot traces its origins to 1949 with the founding of R.L. Jordan Oil Company in Franklin, North Carolina. The company began as a small country store and grew from the experiences of its founder, R.L. Jordan, who served in the U.S. Army in Tokyo and developed a meticulous attention to detail through managing hotel finances. That discipline carried into the business, shaping a culture of precision and customer care. Today, the company operates multiple branded outlets, including Hottie’s Kitchens, Subway, Hunt Brothers Pizza, and Hardees, all under a unified commitment to innovation, competitive pricing, and community service.
