For over 40 years Dooley Oil Company has been a strong member of Laramie's business community. Started as a petroleum products wholesaler, this 100% local, family-owned business has found success in a difficult industry through dedicated customer service, a diversified business plan, and comprehensive knowledge of their products and the systems their products power and support. Through on-the-ground interaction and building great trust with customers, the company has grown to support a fleet of 18 tractor trailers and about 75 full-time jobs, 30 of which are based here in Laramie.

Dooley Oil Company, a full-line Shell distributor, operates facilities in Laramie, Cheyenne, Casper, and Fort Collins and services customers throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. This year marks the 20th anniversary of their Colorado location and it continues to be a success. In fact, Dooley Oil Company holds permit #1 in Colorado for the Rocky Mountain Double Trailer (a 28-foot trailer attached to a 48-foot trailer, with a total length of about 100 feet.)

The Laramie facility acts as the corporate headquarters and primary distribution point. Every product is routed through this branch in 6000 gallon loads. After delivery, the products are repackaged and sent to the three other locations. Each of the facilities has a full line of products available, including bulk oil and cardlock fueling. Dooley's cardlock fuel system allows users access anytime day or night and accurately records each fill-up in order to provide customers with an in-depth profile of fuel usage. Fuels available with the cardlock system include diesel, off-road diesel, bio-diesel, and unleaded. Dooley's fuel site saves businesses valuable time and money by eliminating risks and expenses associated with owning fuel tanks, such as spillage, theft, maintenance, and additional liability insurance.

Although the foundation of the business is built upon wholesale oil and fuel products, Dooley Oil Company has successfully diversified its business to secure other revenue streams. It owns several convenience stores in Casper and Laramie, car washes, and a transportation company. This diversification has helped Dooley Oil Company thrive in an ever-changing industry where consolidation is commonplace. According to John Dooley, President of Dooley Oil Company and LEDC Board Member, "this industry has seen more change in the past five years than in the previous 35. I used to have about 14 competitors in Colorado, now I only have three."

In addition to wholesale, it has also been successfully involved with the retail side of the fuel and oil business. Dooley Oil Company can provide any petroleum product that you need in any size from a quart up to 10,000 gallons. The employees pride themselves on not just being familiar with the products available, but with truly understanding how to best maintain and service the equipment that utilizes their products. Over the past 40 years the organization has developed vast knowledge on heavy-duty equipment and diesel engines and is able to add tremendous value to its customers.

Dooley Oil Company is also committed to being a good corporate citizen to Laramie and the other communities it has operations. In addition to supporting LEDC, the company also contributes to the United Way and the University of Wyoming. Dooley Oil Company is also active in supporting youth programs in Laramie.
