Duchess Information

Englefield Oil Company started in 1961 by FW Englefield III with three service stations and an office operating out of his basement. A concept of a full line convenience store to better serve customers began to form over the years. In 1975, Englefield Oil Co took a leap of faith and opened the first Duchess Shoppe in Lancaster, Ohio. Duchess has grown from its very first location to its present-day position as a leading convenience store chain. Today, Englefield Oil Company owns and operates 123 Duchess locations throughout Ohio and West Virginia with annual sales of more than $1 billion. Duchess is proud to distribute high performance BP Fuels at the majority of their locations and provide fuel to businesses in transport quantities and on site fleet fueling.
