About Company

Guy T. Cherry founded Cherry Oil in 1928. Today the company is run by his grandson Jay Cherry, Jr., and Armistead Mauck (brother-in-law to Jay). The gas, propane, oil and lubes bulk plant located at 2947 Hull Road in Kinston, NC, as well as the Seven Springs plant, located at 5406 NC Hwy 111 South, are managed by Jason Cherry, great-grandson of the founder. Cherry Energy supplies twelve BP-branded retail sites as well as another six unbranded sites (including marinas). Cherry Energy also sells photovoltaic systems providing solar electricity and solar hot water systems.  In 1992 Cherry Oil acquired Kinston-based Carey Oil including four retail convenience store sites. In 1999 the company formed C-Energy Solar. Another acquisition was made in 2003 when the company purchased the Kinston operations of Dumas Oil. In 2005 Cherry Oil purchased Herring Gas adding Propane to its line of products.  In December of 2006 Cherry Oil changed its operating name to Cherry Energy. The new name was selected to better identify with the wide range of products and services now offered.  In 2009, Cherry Energy purchased D. M. Price & Sons adding office operations in Seven Springs, NC.  As we pursue our mission and strive to become a trusted one-stop shop for our residential and commercial customers, Cherry Energy offers:

Propane

Propane isn’t just for barbecues and space heaters. It can power everything from tankless water heaters to indoor and outdoor hearths, generators and more.  But versatility is just one of propane’s many benefits (see below for more) – in fact, it may be the best-kept secret in the home energy industry.

Gasoline

If you need a reliable supply of wholesale gasoline – or the support to keep your gasoline fleet up and running – Cherry Energy has you covered.  Cherry Energy processes, sells and transports multiple octane levels of wholesale gasoline (as well as on-road and off-road diesel) for your construction, farming, manufacturing or other industrial project.  If you need custom services for your business – anything from arranging fleet fueling to providing onsite tanks and other fueling solutions – we can help you there, too.

Biodiesel

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel produced from renewable domestic resources such as plant oils, animal fats and even used cooking oil.  According to the EPA, biodiesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 57 percent or more compared to petroleum diesel, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to address climate change. Biodiesel also sharply reduces major tailpipe emissions, which include some of the nation’s most dangerous pollutants.

Kerosene

If you need K1 kerosene or kerosene-blended fuel for the space heaters at your farm, construction or other industrial project, Cherry Energy is your one-stop source for reliable delivery in North Carolina.  Because it resists gelling at low temperatures, kerosene is an ideal cold-weather solution if your fuel lines or tanks are directly exposed to the cold.  We also offer heating oil and kerosene blends, which mix heating oil with kerosene to burn hotter and more efficiently than fuel oil at a lower cost than kerosene alone.
