With deep roots in the markets it serves and a champion of eco-friendly business practices, Wesco Oil operates a regional chain of convenience stores mostly branded Champlain Farms, while several operate as Fastop and other banners. Fuel brands include Gulf, Shell and Sunoco.

Champlain Farms seeks to provide neighborhood clientele with an enjoyable, convenient shopping experience—executed via consistent customer service designed to sustain loyalty. With an operating footprint across 25 communities throughout Vermont and New Hampshire and a total of 39 units, stores offer foodservice formats that are limited-service, self-service and quick-service formats. Across formats are freshly prepared baked goods, deli offerings, Dunkin' and Green Mountain Coffee, Dunn's smoked meats, Cabot cheddar cheese, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Magic Hat microbrews. Customers can also find locally produced Vermont maple syrup from Amber Ridge Maple and wine from Boyden Valley Winery in several stores.

The chain places an accent on consistent guest services to drive loyalty. Car washes and diesel fuel are found at select locations, while the chain is also known for providing financial support to many philanthropic associations.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are year-end 2019.
