Boyett Petroleum

Stan and Carol Boyett founded Boyett Petroleum in 1940, starting with a Richfield Oil distributorship in Modesto, California. The business expanded through generations — Carl Boyett joined in the 1970s and his son Dale took over as president in 2004, becoming CEO in 2022. The firm operates across wholesale fuel supply, the Kwik Serv convenience store brand, agricultural fuel sales, and the Cruise Americard fleet fueling program accepted at over 320,000 locations nationwide. It has grown through acquisitions including Danielson Fuel Services (2021, adding Oklahoma) and SC Fuels' branded distribution business (2025, adding 76, Shell, Sinclair, and Valero). Boyett supplies fuel to hundreds of retail, commercial, and agricultural customers in California, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The company sold its 10 Cruiser convenience store stations to United Pacific in 2023 and acquired United Pacific's wholesale business, adding Shell and Marathon branded contracts. After its 2014 MCW Energy acquisition, Boyett became the largest distributor of Valero on the West Coast, moving over 400 million gallons annually. The Boyett family also operates the Make Dreams Real Endowment Fund supporting school-aged children in Stanislaus County. Boyett Petroleum structures itself as an operating company rather than a traditional family office — the fuel distribution and convenience store businesses are the primary vehicles for capital deployment and wealth management. The family has maintained direct ownership and operational control across three generations, with succession clearly documented: Dale Boyett assumed day-to-day leadership in 2004 and took the CEO title in 2022.
