Beaudry Oil and Propane

What Beaudry Oil and Propane does

Beaudry Oil & Propane is a family-owned regional fuel and propane distributor headquartered in Elk River, Minnesota, founded in 1981 by Ken and Carrie Beaudry. The company delivers propane, fuel oil, commercial fuels (diesel, gasoline, kerosene, heating oil), Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), and lubricants to residential, commercial, agricultural, and critical-infrastructure customers across Minnesota and into Wisconsin, the Dakotas, and Iowa. Its operational footprint includes 8 office locations and 13 bulk plant/warehouse facilities anchored by company-owned delivery trucks and 24/7 emergency service capability.

The company operates a multi-product distribution model with both subscription-style recurring revenue (propane auto-delivery, Pre-Buy and Budget Price Cap plans) and usage-based revenue (commercial fuels, lubricants, DEF, autogas, wholesale fuels). Proprietary brands include KODIAK Premium Diesel (a cold-weather diesel formulation operable to -32°F), Eagle Gold private-label lubricants, Pro2Go Cylinder Exchange, and PowerGen Diesel Protection. The lubricants line is also widened through exclusive distribution partnerships with Petro-Canada and direct relationships with Chevron, Shell, Mobil, Lucas Oil, and TotalEnergies.

Beaudry has grown primarily through a programmatic roll-up of regional fuel and propane operators (13 acquisitions since 2006) and is led by founder Ken Beaudry (CEO) and second-generation President Trevor Beaudry, with no external institutional capital. The company serves thousands of customers across five regional service areas, with pricing managed through tank leasing combined with minimum gallon commitments, automatic tank monitoring, and customer price-protection programs.
