General Info:

Watts Petroleum Corp. was founded in 1936 by John A. Watts, as a commission agent for the Gulf Oil Corporation. This relationship continued until 1984 when Chevron Products Co. purchased the Gulf assets. We maintained our relationship with Chevron and expanded into the Texaco brand until 2010. At that point we partnered with Marathon Petroleum Company and the Spirit brand to supply our retail network.Over the years, Watts Petroleum increased its service area with the purchase of Paul Farmer Oil Co. in Altavista, and Creasy-Musgrove Oil Co. in Bedford. Today, we employ around 40 people and service more than 4,000 homes. Watts Petroleum is still a family run and owned business, with John A. Watts, Jr. as President, Randall J. Watts serves as Secretary-Treasurer and their son, A. Drake Watts II serves as Vice President and also manages Blue Ridge Ice.Watts Petroleum also maintains a strong commitment to the communities we serve, supporting organizations such as the United Way, Centra Foundation, Lynchburg Community Trust, Challenged Sports Exchange, Lynchburg Little League, Amazement Square, Daily Bread, Free Clinic of Central Virginia, Virginia School of the Arts, The Ellington, Greater Lynchburg Community Trust, Virginia's Region 2000 Partnership, and many other local organizations.
