He is the man who started the well-known Time Saver convenience stores in 1951 with his first location at the corner of Carrollton and Oak Street in New Orleans, eventually turning it into a 97 store chain that was sold for over $10 million in 1978.
But his success didn’t stop there.

He is the father of Warren Montgomery ’73 and Levere Montgomery as well as the grandfather of three Blue Jays, Daniel Montgomery ’06, Levere Montgomery ’08, and Austin Montgomery ’12.
