Established in 1947, this profitable petroleum equipment distribution and service business has served North Dakota's energy and agriculture sectors for nearly 80 years. As an authorized distributor for leading brands (Wayne, Franklin, Xerxes, Morrison Bros, VeriFone, and more), the company specializes in sales, installation, maintenance, and 24/7 emergency repairs of refined fuel storage and dispensing systems.
Core services include:

Regulatory compliance testing, inspections, and preventative maintenance programs
Installation of underground/aboveground tanks, pumps, monitoring systems, POS solutions, lighting, and lubrication equipment
Emergency onsite repairs to minimize downtime

The loyal customer base spans service stations, truck stops, commercial fueling sites, bulk plants, agriculture, trucking, and oil production across central North Dakota and into neighboring states. Strong barriers to entry exist through long-held vendor authorizations, technical certifications, and a decades-built reputation for reliability and personalized service.
Financially solid with consistent multi-million-dollar revenue and healthy cash flow, the business operates from a leased commercial facility (shop/warehouse) with option for continued lease or separate purchase. Sale includes approximately $200,000 in parts inventory, service vehicles, shop tools, diagnostic equipment, and office furnishings—everything needed for turnkey operation.
The market remains stable, driven by ongoing demand in oil and agriculture. Growth opportunities include expanding preventative maintenance contracts, pursuing larger projects in the Bakken region, adding advanced monitoring/cross-sales, and extending territory.
Current owner—a former long-term employee who acquired the company—is selling to prioritize family time as children grow independent and to pursue retirement after dedicated leadership. Seller will provide extensive transition support, including 3-6 months hands-on training, vendor/customer introductions, and consultation as needed for seamless handover.
Ideal for an owner-operator, strategic buyer in distribution/construction/energy services, or regional player seeking bolt-on acquisition. Serious principals only—confidential inquiry required.
