CkSmith/SUPERIOR

When fuel oil began replacing coal as the primary home heating source in the Worcester area in the 1930s, ckSmith changed with the times, adding fuel oil delivery to our customer services. Services for converting from coal heat furnaces to oil, installation of Oilheat systems in new homes and buildings, and the services to support oil-heating systems were added to meet customer needs.

More Fuels in the '60s

In the 1960s, the gasoline and diesel fuel businesses were added. ckSmith now sells all grades of gasoline and diesel fuels and provides wholesale fueling services to organizations with fleets of buses, trucks, and cars and to other fuel retailers. ckSmith offers all grades of gasoline and diesel.

Five Generations (So Far)

Charles K. Smith was succeeded by his son Charles H. Smith, the Smith carried on the company for many, many years. In January, 2010, the Santoro Family purchased ckSmith from the Smith Family.
