About Foster Fuels

Established in 1921, Foster Fuels is a family-owned-and-operated business headquartered in Brookneal, Campbell County, Virginia, and serving customers in all regions of the United States. Foster Fuels began serving Central and Southside Virginia when L.H. Foster arranged with Texaco to become the area’s first Texaco jobber. He worked diligently to fulfill the petroleum needs of the community. His two sons, L.H. Foster Jr. and Watt Robert “Bobby” Foster continued his work and expanded the family-run business by acquiring other jobbers. In 1960, they started a propane gas distributorship which became one of the largest and most successful in Virginia.
