Good Oil Company
was founded by Don O. Good Sr. in 1941. Based out of Monterey,
Indiana, the company was involved mainly in the sale and delivery
of petroleum products to farm and home heat customers. Don became
a Standard Oil/Amoco jobber and continued to grow his business
until retirement in 1978.
When Don, Sr. retired his two sons, Don and Dean, assumed operation
of the company and 1980 they relocated the business to it's
current offices in Winamac.
Don and Dean could see the gasoline
service station business was changing. Convenience stores were
beginning to add gasoline and gas stations were beginning to
sell convenience items. They embraced these changes and entered
the convenience store business. They have enjoyed steady growth
over the years and now own and/or operate 20 retail convenience
stores and supply approximately 25 dealer operated sites. These
sites are under the BP, Citgo, and Phillips 66 brands. The company
has continued to maintain and grow their original customer base
as well as expanding their wholesale fuel operations.
The company
prides itself in community involvement, integrity, and high
moral standards. We emphasize a commitment and hope to provide
value to the cities and towns that have allowed us to become
part of their communities.
The Company plans to continue into
the future with a third generation lead by Don's daughter Nicole
who recently graduated from Purdue's Kranart School of Management.
She plans to continue the company philosophy of community involvement
and moral business practices thru the coming years.
