Bobby Cox Companies
Bobby Cox Companies, Inc. is a multi-venture company based in Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 1961 by Bobby D. Cox, who is also the president of the company.[1] The company began with the creation of a coffee shop in Odessa, Texas and grew to the point of purchasing Schlotzsky's, Inc. in December 2004.[2][3] Today it has over 2,200 employees in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
