Gate Fuel Service is a diversified petroleum distributor based in Jacksonville, Florida. We offer commercial, retail, wholesale, marine, industrial and even residential fuel to customers throughout the Southeast.
Originally formed in the early 1960s to resell fuel to a few residential accounts, Gate Fuel Service has evolved into a multi-branded multi-line petroleum distributor with sales exceeding 100 million gallons annually. To complement fuel sales, Gate Fuel Service entered the lubricants business, selling motor oil, hydraulic fluids and greases. In the past year, we added Diesel Exhaust Fluid to our line of products.
Our transportation team operates a fleet of tankers and provides petroleum distribution and transportation for all of Gate Petroleums retail stores, as well as commercial accounts throughout the Southeast.

The name "Gate" was derived from the 1960s Chamber of Commerce slogan, "Jacksonville - Gateway to Florida." Gate flourished during the 1960s, as Gate stations began to appear throughout the Southeast.
As a result of the 1972 oil crisis, management recognized the need to diversify and began to acquire unrelated businesses. Diversification efforts were successful, and today Gate operates eight concrete plants located in Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Texas.
In addition, Gate owns and operates four private clubs - The Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, Epping Forest Yacht Club, The Lodge & Club and the River Club.
Past and present real estate holdings throughout the Southeast include Deerwood Park, a 1,000-acre office park in Jacksonville, Riverplace Tower, a mulit-tenant high-rise in downtown Jacksonville, and the Cummer Trust Property, a fifty-four hundred-acre tract of land located in north St. Johns County.
Service stations are still Gates core business, and Gate operates 225 state-of-the-art service stations with convenience stores in six Southeastern states. Gates continuing growth and prominence in the marketplace are directly related to the dedication of its employees. Gate has consistently been able to outperform larger, stronger companies due to the willingness of its people to go the extra mile to get the job done. And, while business is becoming so much more sophisticated with automation and specialization, it all comes back to people. These employees are the reason Gate is a dynamic company with an exciting future.
