The Secret To Great Service...
Happy Employees!
Dear Friends:

We believe that great service starts with great employees--people who care, and who have
desire and experience to do the job right. Employees who feel they're treated well and fairly will treat customers the same
way. An experienced employee will be more likely to do each project right the first time, avoid repeat visits and advise customers. That's why we encourage our people
to think of their work as a career, not just a job. The result? Our employees have been with us an average of 25 years.
It's even common for employees to be with us long enough to retire, which is pretty rare these days. Generation
after generation, our family owned company has kept up this tradition of employee appreciation. We're proud of all of them
and the work they do. In the end, it is their pride and professionalism that assure continuing customer satisfaction and the
success of our company.
Jan S. Van Etten President - Van Etten Oil

For three generations, Van Etten Oil has
been providing quality fuels and service to our customers. In the late 1920's Richard Van Etten worked for the Texas Company (Texaco)
as a salesman and bulk plant agent. Ten years later he was promoted to consignee of the Texas Company's plant located next to the Monticello N.Y. train
depot. In 1944, Mr. Van Etten founded Van Etten Oil Company with an 800 gallon, 1938 Chevy tank truck to
serve the Sullivan County area with quality motor fuels and lubricants. Richard Van Etten's son,
Robert Van Etten, joined in 1954 and continued to expand
the company. He started the oil burner service department, still located in the old rail-station, to further meet the needs of Van Etten
Oil customers. In 1971 Richard's youngest son, Jan Van Etten, joined
the company. Jan developed the VEO Express Lanes convenience store chain, the first of its
kind in Sullivan County. Jan Van Etten is the current President of Van Etten Oil. Today, Van Etten Oil is entering
it's 65th year of business. Jan's son, Eli Van Etten, has followed
in the family tradition and joined the business in 1998. Throughout the decades Van Etten Oil has expanded while never
losing sight of the satisfaction of serving our customers' needs. Our
value is your peace of mind!
