As one of the newer business owners in town, Peter Joseph and his wife Robyn reminded us that they opened Crookwell Fuel Supplies on March 30, 2018.
It’s not their first service station, and their goal has been “To bring competitive fuel pricing to Crookwell and quality service,” Peter says.
There are four people working in the Crookwell store, and a further 14 support staff available over at their Harden store.
“Fuel is our main service as well as being a convenience store. We try to have everything our customers need. We support local businesses by buying local potatoes, jams, eggs and books, as well as supporting charities like the Crookwell Lions Club.” They also deliver fuel to farms.
Their observation about Crookwell’s needs are, “The main trend at the moment is increasing diesel sales. They grow weekly, meaning I am making [about] four trips a week from Harden to keep up with the supply.”
This demand also has them preparing for the future. “We have big plans. We recently had a concrete slab poured out the back in preparation for a much bigger diesel tank. We also plan to add more pumps to meet the demand of our customers, especially for diesel. This will speed up their waiting time.
“We are also planning to have a cafe added soon; [we are] awaiting council approval and final plans.”
Peter believes that one of their great strengths is “Our service. We are a small business trying to grow and we do this by offering genuine service as well as listening to the needs of the locals.”
Peter’s overall impression of Crookwell is also very positive. “I love working in a great rural community. We have done a lot to support locals and charities and plan to do a lot more of this in the future.”
Crookwell Fuel Supplies is at 115 Laggan Road, Crookwell.
