About Us
We are a third generation oil company who has been doing business in our
community for nearly 80 years. Our story began in 1934, when Victor
Fleurent, Sr. started an oil company by the name of Victor Fleurent & Sons
after working for many years at a local lumber company delivering coal. At
that time, he had 8 children (4 sons and 4 daughters) and making a living
delivering oil seemed less arduous than carrying and shoveling coal.
In 1957, at the age of 23, Victor's youngest son, Clement, came home from
Washington state where he was stationed with the U.S. Army. There was an oil
truck lettered and ready for him in the driveway. Clement would be working
with his older brothers delivering Kerosene for the business. In the late
60's, Clement bought out one of his brothers and founded C.A. Fleurent Fuel
Company. He grew his business quickly, acquiring several small oil companies
along the way. Clement created a successful business while he and his wife raised their family of 3 small children. In the early 80's the oil industry grew quite
competitive with many new companies emerging. In 1984, with profit margins
extremely low, Clement made the difficult decision to merge with another
local oil company with whom he continued to work with for several years.
Nine years later in 1993, Clement's youngest son, Tom, decided it was
time to breathe new life into the business. At the age of 21, while driving
for a local oil company, Tom bought his first truck and began delivering on
nights and weekends. It was then that he founded Fleurent Fuel Company
realizing his childhood dream of following in his father's footsteps. Over
the past 18 years, Tom has continued to strengthen the relationships his
grandfather and father built while building new relationships in our
community. We work hard to give our customers the service they have come to
know and depend on for decades. We believe that honesty, integrity and
loyalty are the foundation of successful relationships and ultimately...
great customer service.
From our family to yours...
