About Us

• Parker Oil Company is Southside Virginia's hometown energy source. We're big and sophisticated enough to meet the fuel needs of any business, but we're also friendly and attentive enough to keep the loyalty of homeowners throughout the region. Lewis W. Parker Sr. founded our company in 1935 to provide professional, reliable fuel delivery in Southside and northeastern North Carolina. The Parker commitment to excellence won us many loyal customers and helped us grow steadily, year after year. Today, Charlie Parker, grandson of our founder, leads a company with 225 employees and more than 200 fuel delivery and service vehicles. In addition to our retail and wholesale fuel delivery, we operate a family of fuel-related businesses. Our Simmons Travel Centers are located in Bracey and Emporia. Parker Fuel Freedom is our card fleet fueling system. Our Environmental Management Services division is the only contractor in Virginia licensed to close and fill underground storage tanks in place.
