Under its agreement with Shell, Woodford Oil will distribute Shell fuel and other petroleum products to retail service stations and convenience stores throughout West Virginia.
"We are excited to work with Woodford Oil to expand the distribution of Shell's products in our East Coast markets," said Chuck Ryan, regional sales manager, Shell Oil Products US, Great Lakes Area. "Woodford's focus on reliable and convenient customer service fits well with our focus on product innovation and excellence."
Woodford Oil also distributes fuel under the Marathon, Sunoco, Exxon, Mobil and CITGO brands throughout West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"Many of our Chevron and Texaco station customers, including several Par Mar stores in our region, are already in the process of switching over to new brands, and we will continue to work with our other customers to help them choose the best brand for their individual circumstances," said Woodford. "And because Woodford Oil has relationships with so many national fuel companies, we are confident we can enable our customers to achieve their rebranding goals."
