U. S. Oil is the parent company of Express Convenience Centers.

U.S. Oil Co. started out as a home heating fuel delivery route back in 1950. It is owned and operated by the Schmidt family. Over the years it has grown in size and diversity to become a multi-million dollar operation doing business in a variety of automobile related industries in the Midwest. U.S. Oil's main function is a wholesaler of petroleum products, automobile parts, motor oil, and petroleum equipment. Today there are over 1000 people employed in ten different divisions. Many area residents don't realize that

Established in the early 1980's, Express Convenience Centers continue to be the Fox Valley leader in guest-focused convenience shopping. As the only retail division of U.S. Oil Co., the Express Convenience Center outlets and its' team members strive to earn the trust and loyalty of our guests through offering fast, dependable service and quality products.

As an oil company it seems only natural that U.S. Oil would get involved in gasoline retail operations. We are unique in that operationally we are our own fuel supplier. That means Express buys all of its gas and diesel from U.S. Oil. This situation provides us with the confidence of supply and the flexibility in delivery. We also have flexibility in product offering and programming because the majority of our outlets are not branded with any of the large oil companies. Our guests have learned over the years that Express is a local business that offers a quality product mix at very competitive prices while remaining involved in all the local communities.

Fast, friendly service is the expectation at Express. Every attempt is made to get to know the guest on a first-name basis. We also understand that our guests expect and appreciate a clean facility. That is why special care is taken to keep our sites clean, inside and outside. Newer stores have cutting edge features such as walk-in beer coolers and 24-hour pay-at-the-pump capabilities. And guests can feel safe visiting Express, as all stores are kept under 24 hour on-site camera surveillance.

The bottom line at Express is that we try to separate ourselves from the competition by offering excellent customer service. We've been serving our guests for 25 years in the Fox Valley area under the guiding principle, "Not Just In Your Community, But Part Of It."®
