NOCO Energy Corporation is a family-owned and operated corporation based in Tonawanda, New York (a suburb of Buffalo). The company specializes in gasoline, commercial fuels, industrial lubricants, bio-products, home energy fuel, and heating and cooling systems. NOCO also operated 39 gas stations in Western New York, until 2019 when they exited out of the convenience store business and sold 33 of them to Marathon Patroleum Corp. The other 6 were leased to private owners under their own banners. [1]

History

The company was founded in 1933 by Reginald B. Newman; it was incorporated as R.B. Newman Fuel Company on January 12, 1948. Donald F. Newman and Reginald B. Newman II, his sons, joined the company in 1954 and 1960, respectively. With the sons there, the company acquired a new terminal facility and expanded the product lines. The company's first gas station was opened in 1964.[2]

NOCO Energy Corporation opens first stores in the City of Buffalo

In March 2014; NOCO bought out a privately owned gas station at Elmwood and Forest. In July, NOCO announced its takeover of another privately owned gas station on Lexington and Elmwood, as well as the Tim Hortons at that location. These being the first two NOCO owned stores in the city proper, NOCO is expected to take over more privately owned gas stations if these two locations do well.
