St. Romain Oil Sells Commercial Division

For 39 years St. Romain Oil Company has provided quality fuels and lubricants to farmers, loggers, construction, riverboats, generators and service stations in central Louisiana.  We purchased six other wholesale distributors along the way, in the pursuit of our strategic growth goals.  Recently we evaluated our long-term strategy amid changing economic conditions and the never-ending pressure of increased government regulation, and we are proud to announce that effective October 23, 2009, St. Romain Oil Company is selling its commercial fuels division to Lott Oil Company of Natchitoches.   

This sale is relative to all of our bulk plant business, bobtail and lubricants deliveries, and our direct transport deliveries to farms and trucking companies.  This should be a seamless transition to your business, as Lott Oil will continue to deliver the same reliable service, quality fuels and competitive pricing that you have enjoyed with us.  Lott Oil has purchased our commercial fleet and hired our wholesale staff, so you will continue to receive service from the same highly trained professionals that you have come to know and trust.  The phone number will remain the same (318-964-2424), and Alexandria customers may now call 318-442-4942.  All outstanding balances owed to St. Romain Oil through October 22, 2009 should be remitted as usual to St. Romain Oil, PO Box 98, Mansura, LA 71350.  All orders delivered on or after October 23, 2009 will be billed from Lott Oil. 

St. Romain Oil Company is not closing its doors.  We have relocated our corporate center to the Industrial Loop between Mansura and Marksville, where we will focus on our direct retail business and wholesale business to independent retailers.  This will allow us to streamline our operations and fully focus on this division of our business.   

It has been our distinct privilege to serve as your supplier, and we really appreciate all of the business dealings we have had in the past.  We wish all of you well in your individual businesses, and we are grateful for all of the relationships we have developed over the years.  Best of luck to you in the future from all of us at St. Romain Oil!
