Wesco

General information

Who we are:
Wesco is a family owned and operated chain of 51 convenience stores based in Muskegon, Michigan. For 55 years, our mission has been customer service. Many things have changed over time except our commitment of fast, friendly service.

Wesco History:
In 1952 Bud Westgate built a small cement block building and for $75 purchased 3 used gas pumps. That was the beginning to a chain of 51 convenience stores that are owned by Bud’s sons - Jim and Jerry. Through the brother’s combined vision the company has had three and a half decades of growth. In the mid 80’s they doubled the size of their business by acquiring Rengo Oil and adding 15 stores. With a mind set of slow and steady growth they acquired Weaver Oil in the 90’s adding 19 more stores. Wesco has expanded to include our own distribution center, a bulk fuel and propane business, Wesco Energy, along with 6 Subway locations, and 6 private label ToGo Deli operations.
