- General Info
- Marran was founded in 1891 by William R. Marran. He delivered kerosene for cooking and space heaters to his neighbors and friends by horse-drawn cart. He passed his philosophy down to his son: “Service your customers well and treat them as your neighbors and friends.” His son, Francis Marran, modernized the delivery system by switching from horse-drawn cart to motorized tank trucks, which could deliver oil more efficiently to a larger area. In the early 1930s, he constructed a million gallon oil terminal on the Patchogue River, which received barges from New York harbor. He worked with Standard Oil, supplying their oil to other companies and to his customers throughout Suffolk County. Under his leadership, Marran was the first oil company to provide automatic delivery to its customers. He began to sell oil as an alternative to wood or coal heating systems. He called it “automatic heat,” because it eliminated the necessity to feed the fire. He believed that a company should invest in its infrastructure and equipment to provide better services and products to its customers. His philosophy was “Innovate and provide your customers with the best products.” In 1935, during the Great Depression, Francis died, leaving his wife Marcelle and four young children. Against the advice of many individuals (who could not envision a woman running an oil company ) and warnings from competitors threatening to steal customers, Marcelle Marran took up the challenge of running Marran Oil. She not only succeeded in keeping the business going, but it was under her leadership that the company flourished and expanded. In 1948, Bill Marran stepped into his mother's shoes. He created the 24-Hour Service Department to accommodate a growing customer base. Bill introduced the All-Risk Service Contract that included his telephone number, a tradition still in effect today. In 1990, Bill Marran revolutionized the oil selling business by rolling out the first Fixed Price Contract. He offered a lock in fixed price on oil for the whole year. A warm and generous man, he was always accessible to his customers. In 1994 Bill Marran retired. Jack Marran is proud to be the fourth generation in the business. He Credits his grandmother and father for passing to him a wealth of knowledge. He has kept to his family's tradition of personalized service; like his father, Jack puts his telephone number in Marran's All Risk Service Contract. Building on Marran's past, Jack has added Alarm and Air Conditioning to the services Marran provides its customers.
