History
Baber's is one of the companies of Baber Strunk Enterprises. Baber's has been a family owned corporation since 1959. James B. Baber opened his first Baber's Firestone Car Care Center on South Market Street in Pascagoula, Mississippi. In just a few short years, he, and his family, expanded their Firestone franchise across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In 1981, Mr. Baber and his son Barry ventured into the Rent-to-Own industry. The first Baber's store opened and still remains in the same building as one of the first locations of their Firestone businesses. Sadly, Barry Baber lost his life in an airplane accident in 1989. His widow, Cynthia, Mr. Baber, and other family members kept the company running and growing after his death. In 1993, Cynthia married Shannon Strunk. The couple along with Mr. Baber expanded the company across Mississippi and into Alabama. Today Baber Strunk Enterprises oversees 47 Baber's stores across Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi.
