Our Full Story

In 1955, Guy Daigle launched DOC in Fort Kent with one truck and a commitment to helping neighbors stay warm through long Maine winters.

In the years that followed, DOC expanded steadily-adding retail fuel locations, growing through acquisitions, and building the DOC brand into something people across the region recognized and trusted.

DOC has always been a company that looks for better ways to serve customers. Over the years, DOC introduced new programs and services designed to make energy needs simpler and more predictable-from early price-protection offerings to the DOC Card and expanded capabilities across fuels and equipment.

Growth continued through the 2000s and 2010s with the addition of propane and other offerings-and a broader footprint across Northern Maine. Then, in 2015, DOC took a defining step: the company became 100% employee-owned. Today, employee-owners have a direct stake in quality, service, and long-term trust-because DOC’s reputation is personal.
