Terrible Herbst Oil Company, is an American privately held gas station company. In 2022, the chain rebranded its Terrible Herbst convenience stores to Terrible’s. Today, Terrible’s operates 176 stores across Nevada, California, Arizona and Utah, with around 80% of the stores located in southern Nevada.
Terrible’s can trace its roots to 1938, when founder Ed Herbst opened his first Herbst Oil gas station in Chicago. Over the years, Ed Herbst continued to expand the business, branching out West and eventually moving into the Las Vegas market. When Jerry Herbst took over the company in 1959 in Las Vegas, he paid homage to his father by incorporating the chain under the name Terrible Herbst Inc. The first c-store under the Terrible Herbst banner was built that same year in Las Vegas. Its stations are typically of the Chevron brand.
