Our Story

Wilmore Oil Company is a small family business located in the heart of South Central Kansas, a region that is rich in both agriculture and oil and gas resources. The company dates its beginning back to 1970, when Joe Yost, together with a business partner purchased a service station located in Wilmore, Kansas, a typical small American town with a population of less than one hundred and unpaved streets. This service station included bulk fuel and packaged lubricants, offering Champlin brand products. Joe soon bought out his partner and operated the service station until he sold it in the late '70's, but continued under the name "Wilmore Oil Company", developing and expanding sales of fuel and lubricants.
