Jerry Danielson
FOUNDER
Our Founder and the heartbeat of everything we do and believe at Danielson – because his name is on the door! Jerry started in the fuel industry with Conoco as an District Sales Representative in their Oklahoma City Division in 1965. After 10 years Jerry was offered the opportunity by Conoco to purchase a bulk plant and convenience store in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and become a Commissioned Agent. In 1975, Jerry purchased Kagel Oil in Allen, Oklahoma and built his first convenience store. From one store in Allen, Jerry grew the company significantly and then sold it to his son-in-law and daughter, Mike and Amy Lawson, in 2011.
Hi, my name is Teddy. I am the Danielson Office Dog. I was born in Dallas, TX in 2013 and received formal training for my job at PETCO in 2014. My owner is Mike Lawson who also owns Danielson. He is the President, but he is really my servant and waits on me hand and foot. He gives me treats and walks me when I have to go... you know. I wish I had a private bathroom like my co-workers. I have aspirations to be the President one day but will settle for Executive Office Dog.
Teddy
OFFICE DOG
Scott lives in Edmond, OK with his wife and two children. On the weekend you will probably find him doing something outside (weather permitting) with his kids, or involved with his local church. After 10 years in the U.S. Air Force Scott started working in the Convenience Store Industry with our national buying program Convenience Store Alliance. Scott’s extensive knowledge of vendor programs inside the C-store and understanding of the pressures and challenges that our customers face running a C-store positions him well to bring significant value to our fuel customers.
