Magness Oil Company was established in 1960 by founder J.W. Magness. A son of the founder, Benny Magness with his wife Janie, purchased the Cotter, Arkansas base of the company in 1977. Benny and Janie continue to own and manage Magness Oil Company, assisted by their son, Jeffrey Magness, vice president, who handles many day-to-day operations. (The J.W. Magness Oil Company was sold by Michael and Mitchell Magness in 2007.)

In the beginning, Magness Oil Company supplied the “gas stations” of the past with gasoline and automotive accessories like tires, batteries, and windshield wipers. Customers were also farms, the railroad, and boat docks of the northern Arkansas river and lake country that surrounds Cotter, Arkansas.

Now, convenience stores have replaced the service station. Magness Oil operates and leases more than 40 Snappy Mart and On the Run convenience stores serving the retail gasoline needs of consumers. Magness Oil provides tanks in sizes from 500 to 20,000 gallons for a variety of businesses.

Additional key employees include Audrey Stanton as Director of Retail Operations; Bill as franchise coordinator over On the Run and Subway locations; Brooke Carter as the chief financial officer and accounting staff supervisor; and Brian Weidrick as supervisor of over 35 truck drivers.

Magness Oil expects continued growth in the need for wholesale fuel supplies and petroleum products for convenience stores, industrial businesses, boat docks and marinas, trucking companies, government agencies, farms, the construction industry, and airports. Magness Oil looks forward to delivering petroleum products to fuel businesses of the region.
