Molino Tom Thumb Closed Due To Staffing Issues, Set To Reopen With Limited Weekend Hours
September 3, 2021
Customers were greeted with closure signs Thursday at the Molino Tom Thumb, and the store remained closed Friday. But company officials said the store is expected to reopen Saturday with limited weekend hours.
“It’s simply a staffing issue,” Sean Hennessey, a spokesperson for Tom Thumb, told NorthEscambia.com on Friday.
Hennessey said the store at Highway 29 and Highway 97 will reopen with revised hours of 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and will return to normal operating hours on Monday.

In fairness, I’ve witnessed some really rude and disgusting behavior by customers at this store, too.
Incompetent rude service is not confined to convenient stores , it is becoming the service wide norm !
Maybe they can start fresh. The employees were very rude to the customers as if they not going to fire me because they need me. They are not the friendly at all.
Pay a living wage
Joy Bryant, you stopped going there because of “NO MAKS”? Have you looked at the effectiveness of most of the mask? If you are really that afraid, perhaps you should be staying home.
The gasoline prices allways to expensive at this location
I worked for Tom thumb for years in the past, even was a manager. They treat employees like crap and treat employees as if they are replaceable. It’s funny to see they obvious are not replaceable. Treat employees better and give better pay.
Tom Thumb is not locally owned anymore and it shows, I used to go there all the time but now I don’t go to the store unless I have to. It’s owned by the same people that own the Albertson grocery store that should explain a lot
It’s sad that people don’t have jobs and aren’t looking for one either. Too many ways big brother is making it easier to not work for so many people.
the store increased products – including food -BUT ill prepared how to order-how to keep the shelves in order and simply how to be professional. I stopped going because NO MASKS – difficult in some aisles to walk thru due to their stocking buggies – things that a staples – out of it – and the cans dented and banged up. The store has a dirty feeling about it now!
And I used to be a constant buyer there….and the GOSSIP between the workers – give me a break
If it weren’t for this store being the only gas station out there I’m sure very many people in the community would rather not have to deal with this place to begin with. All of the employees are rude have bad attitudes, work ethic and you a very terrible job at keeping this place up to par! I was raised in this town that I once called home, now I don’t even care to pass through or visit anymore I’m completely disgusted by how trashy Molino has became over the years! Where I know there is still very many good people in this in this town who work hard to have all that they have and try to keep there homes and yards nice and presentable there are so many more who let there yards fill with filth and garbage while they sit at home with no jobs collecting money from the state selling and using illegal drugs. MOLINO IS SLOWLY falling appart, and it is such a sad thing to see because its only getting worse over the years! I pray for the people in this town!
Hire me
I have always been very satisfied with that store. Sorry some of you have had bad experiences there. Hope things get back to normal soon.
So when/what happened to that new gas station that was coming up next to the Tom Thumb? William can you find out any information?
Well on the bright side, there will probably be less chance of an accident at that intersection.
Just asked about the place that was supposed to open across the street?
Tom Thumb is a joke. Place is disgusting, rude employees, and never has gas. They really need to close this place down and open a different one. Tom Thumb sucks I will not go back!
