Acorn Petroleum Inc

In 1956, the Pike Peak region was still relatively underpopulated, but two brothers named Ochs understood the areas potential for growth and the important role that motor vehicles would play in that growth. They pooled their resources and opened a service station called PDQ Car Wash at 529 South Nevada Street in Colorado Springs. The station sold Standard gasoline, a brand that both the Ochs brothers and their customers trusted. This was the beginning of a diversified business venture that would come to be known as Acorn Petroleum.  Nearly 60 years later, the third generation of the Ochs family is still heading the company their grandfathers founded. Acorn Petroleum is the Front Range urban corridors premier distributor of oil, fuel, chemicals, lubricants and filters. During those six decades, our company has diversified so that in addition to distributing gasoline and fuel in Colorado, we now offer ancillary services such as cleanliness services and quality assurance testing. We also help customers build customized storage solutions and participate in a fueling network with more than 180,000 sites. Seventeen of those fueling network locations are in Colorado along the I-70 and I-25 corridors.

Headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO, Acorn Petroleum has been the leading distributor of oil, fuel, chemicals, lubricants and filters in the Front Range urban corridor for more than half a century.
