Gulf Grows Its Reach in New England

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. — Gulf Oil LP has increased its presence in New England through an expanded relationship with Oakland, Maine-based Fabian Oil Inc. Gulf will provide branded wet barrel supply to Fabian's gas stations throughout the region.

Family-owned Fabian Oil was founded as a single retail gas station in 1988. It currently has multiple retail locations in Maine and services a large market in New England.

"Like Gulf, Fabian places great value on the relationships it has forged within the communities it serves," said Meredith L. Sadlowski, senior vice president of branded sales and marketing at Gulf Oil. "Our two companies share a common philosophy and vision, and our enhanced relationship will continue to provide exceptional service and quality fuel to our customers."

Fabian Oil looks forward to continuing to work alongside Gulf while supplying reliable fuel and friendly service to local drivers, according to Vice President Ted Fabian.

"Fabian has been a one-stop shop for all of central Maine's fuel needs for more than 25 years and we are confident that the iconic Gulf brand will aid us in further expansion into the retail fuel arena," he said.

Gulf Oil owns and operates 17 proprietary terminals, as well as supplies wholesale product through 75 other terminals. It is a distributor of motor fuels — both gasoline and diesel — to more than 1,750 branded outlets and 1,000 private label retail outlets operated by major chain retailers.
