Seems like every month or so I learn of a fairly famous business that is Aggie owned. Seems like we should have a list. Here are some I can think of off the top of my head...feel free to add:

Jason's Deli
Buc-ee's truck stops
America's/Artista/Churrasco's (Cordua restaurants)

Pappas restaurants, though they are more localized.

If you want to see some up and coming Aggie owned businesses here's this year's list.

It is amazing just to review the graduates of the Petroleum Engineering Dept at TAMU. Not only do they own many succesful businesses, but many more are CEO, COO and presidents of some of the most successful energy companies in the world. And some graduates of PetE went into other businesses unrelated to oil and gas and were very successful.

I should put together a list....it is impressive.

Mustang is not aggie owned. One of the three founders was an aggie but they sold to the wood group around 2000. The CEO is an aggie

You can't drive around Houston without seeing a John Moore Services truck. They're Aggie owned.

I loved this guy. He's a great comedian. He played First Yell and opened for Bill Cosby that one time, and that "Caucasian Station" joke always was a knee slapper.

Cox Communications!?

That was the Cox sisters out of Georgia (who double dated my uncles). Considering both my uncles would be real close to 100. How could they have attended A&M 80 years or so ago?

I have a friend who travels extensively in Russia, Eastern and Central Europe. He was staying in a castle in Germany with a group of people, when their host, the Baron who owns the castle, asked him where he was from. He said College Station, and started to explain between Houston and Dallas. The castle owner told him that he knew exactly where it was, he'd gone to A&M and was, himself, an Aggie.
