Brunswick, Georgia – The Altamaha River Trading Company, a well-known establishment at Two-Way Fish Camp, has garnered a significant following since its foundation by Cricket Mobley, a passionate outdoorsman. Mobley passed away last year after a lengthy battle with cancer, but his legacy continues to resonate within the local community and among outdoor enthusiasts across the region.
Originally from Waycross, Georgia, Mobley relocated to Brunswick in 1983, where he would ultimately embark on a journey that shaped his life and impacted countless others. In 1987, he founded JavaCo Coffee Company, quickly turning it into a thriving venture over the next two decades, before selling it in 2010. With the sale of JavaCo, Mobley’s yearning for the outdoors spurred him to establish a new business, which led to the creation of the Altamaha River Trading Company.
