Our History
George Corkle, Jr. first started in the fuel business when he was hired by Standard Oil of Indiana, to be the agent for Walden and surrounding North Park. February 1, 1951, proved to be a challenging starting date as George recalls not moving the truck or delivering a drop of fuel for the first two weeks of employment, due to temperatures hovering around -55 degrees below zero!
For the next 25 years George continued to work for Standard Oil, first as an agent then purchasing the business from Amoco Oil (formerly known as Standard Oil of Indiana) in October 1976. Corkle’s Oil Company was born!
After purchasing the business George became a Jobber for Amoco Oil Company and continued to grow the business through hard work and service to customers. In 1977, after graduating North Park High School, Georges’ son, George Patrick began working with his father and took over the majority of fuel deliveries.
For the next 20 years, father and son continued to provide a quality product and excellent service to customers in Jackson County and serving customers in Carbon County and Albany County Wyoming.
January 1, 1997 George P. Corkle purchased the majority of Corkle’s Oil Company from his father and Corkle Oil Company LLC was started. Both father and son continued to work together, but “Big” George was moving into semi-retirement, and was not as active in day to day activities.
Currently Corkle Oil Company is managed entirely by George P. Corkle, but on any given day during the summer “Big” George can be found in the office waiting to visit with customers.
Corkle Oil Company LLC is a wholly owned family business and continues to provide a quality product and excellent service.
