The man behind Terrible Herbst

Jerry Herbst founded Terrible Herbst in 1959. The name repurposed an old slight toward Herbst’s father, Ed, who opened Martin Oil in Chicago in 1938. Since the brand’s arrival, the Terrible name has existed in the Las Vegas Valley atop gas stations, casinos and the family’s motorsports team. Some of those ventures are controlled by Jerry Herbst and others by his sons: Ed, Tim and Troy. Jerry Herbst died Nov. 27 in his home. He was 80.
