EDDINGTON, Maine -- Gary Pelletier, a retired Air Force major, has opened Eddington, Maine's first Irving Oil gas station, expanding the regional brand to the community.
"After 20 years in the Air Force, my wife Michelle and I moved to Eddington to begin a new chapter in our lives. We have lived and worked in the community for over seven years and have really come to enjoy the area," said Gary Pelletier. "We pride ourselves on being a hometown gas station that takes care of each and every customer."
He added, "Irving Oil's reputation of being a family-owned company [image-nocss] with a deep community commitment motivated us to join the brand. We are excited to expand the Irving brand here and are looking forward to continuing to serve the members of our community."
The Eddington store, one of of several new sites to recently open in the state, offers complete convenience store service with a variety of products at competitive prices including, Irving clean gasoline and diesel fuel, kerosene, propane, beer, wine, liquor and a full-service deli.
"We're very pleased to expand the Irving name in the Bangor area," said Harry Hadiaris, general manager of Irving Oil Marketing.
