Warrenton Oil Company

In the early 1970s, R.G. and Betty Baker embarked on their entrepreneurial journey, establishing First Capitol Oil in St. Charles, Missouri. Initially, their focus was on the sale of fuel oil and lubricants.

As their enterprise flourished, they took a significant step forward by entering the realm of direct gasoline marketing through the acquisition of their first service station.

A pivotal turning point came in 1984 when R.G. and his eldest son, Wayne, made a strategic move by purchasing Warrenton Oil Company. This acquisition led to First Capitol Oil's transformation into a division of Warrenton Oil Company.

The Company's expansion continued unabated in 1993 with the acquisition of the Columbia operations of Davis Oil, marking its westward expansion.
