After a few years of warmer-than-average winters, the winter of 2017-2018 proved to finally bring back the cold. While it may have felt like an extremely cold winter, statistically it was still only a "normal" winter. That means we are still anticipating the return of more "normal" winters, with the liklihood of a colder-than-normal winter growing every year.
With the closure of Worley & Obetz, we have been experiencing a significant influx of new customers and anticipate even more once the cold weather arrives. To say there will be a strain on the area's fuel dealers would be a vast understatement. I strongly advise anyone currently searching for a new dealer to secure one as soon as possible prior the change in season to ensure continuation of service. It should also be noted that it is likely many of the discount fuel dealers will have extended delays in service throughout the season due to the increased demand, as was realized during the "Bomb Cyclone" in January.
At Reitz Oil, we have spent the summer working to expand our services and add to our staff to ensure timely deliveries and efficient service.
Our family of Reitz Oil customers need not worry as to how this tragedy will affect their service, as we guarantee the same high level of service you have come to expect and appreciate over the years.
For potential customers, please know there is still time to get onto an automatic delivery schedule. This allows us to operate at our most efficient, and we pass those savings onto our automatic customers. .
