What J W Myers Inc does

J.W. Myers, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned petroleum products distributor headquartered in Madera, California, operating a bulk plant at the same location since 1918 and incorporated by Jim and Karen Myers in 1965. The company sells gasoline (Chevron and Texaco grades with Techron), diesel fuel #2 (ULSD), propane, and a comprehensive line of Chevron-branded lubricants and fluids including motor oils, Delo gear lubricants and greases, hydraulic fluids, and extended-life coolant. It also operates convenience retail (food marts) and car wash facilities at select station locations.

J.W. Myers distributes through two parallel channels: 10 branded retail stations across Madera County (operating under Chevron, 76/Conoco Phillips, and Texaco banners) located in Madera, Oakhurst, Coarsegold, Chowchilla, and North Fork, and a bulk delivery fleet of over a dozen trucks providing home, farm, and business deliveries across Madera and Merced Counties. Customer acquisition is driven by physical storefronts, a toll-free phone line (800-300-3101), local office numbers, and a basic online request form; the company does not employ digital marketing or e-commerce channels.

The business model is straightforward commodity distribution: one-time sales of fuel and lubricants at retail margins and bulk delivery pricing, with no subscription or recurring contracted revenue disclosed. Customer segments are horizontal, spanning residential homeowners, agricultural/farming operations, and local commercial businesses. The core competitive position rests on a 100+ year physical footprint, an entrenched Chevron distribution partnership, and family-led operational continuity under founders' sons Tony and Jeff Myers.
