""Football taught me how to show up even when you don't feel like it," Akram says. "That sticks with you.""
""I knew I wanted to build something for myself," he says. "I didn't want to wait years to get started.""
""It's a business people depend on," Akram explains. "You can't cut corners. You have to be present.""
Akram Alhamidi grew up in Petal, Mississippi, where community routines and high school football shaped discipline, teamwork, and consistency. He graduated high school in 2020 and chose to start a business immediately rather than follow a traditional path. He launched a gas station centered on everyday service, reliability, and constant operational attention. The business required rapid learning, direct engagement with customers, strict schedules, and hands-on problem solving from day one. Leadership focused on presence, responsibility, and not cutting corners, reflecting a practical, experience-driven approach to entrepreneurship.
