General Info

The Ewing Oil Company was founded October 1, 1965 by Caleb C. Ewing, Sr. The company started primarily as a small heating oil company, with some commercial fuel sales. In 1972 Ewing acquired Smith Oil Company, a small Exxon branded heating oil company, with one company-operated gas station. In succeeding years Ewing Oil significantly expanded retail and wholesale gasoline operations, acquiring several smaller companies and purchasing numerous retail locations. In 1999 Ewing Oil sold its heating oil operation to a public utility. The company now focuses primarily on gasoline operations, supplying more than 75 service stations in the mid-Atlantic area. Ewing Oil sells lubricants to dealers and industrial customers. Ewing Oil also operates Pacific Pride commercial fueling sites. Its sister company, Western Maryland Fast Foods, owns and operates Burger King restaurants in the Western Maryland area.
