Wanklyn Oil Company was started in 1926 by Albert and Arthur Wanklyn.  It was then called Wanklyn Brothers.  They started in the small town of Winifred, a small town northwest of Frankfort.  In 1962, Dennis Wanklyn took over operations from Albert.  After taking over, Dennis has grown the company to service more than 2,500 customers and more areas than before.  In 1999, Dennis’ oldest son, Jerrod Wanklyn, joined the family business after graduating from Kansas State University.  He handles the Manhattan, Flush, Junction City, Paxico, St. Marys, Maple Hill, Randolph, Olsburg, Wamego, Alma, Rossville, Emmett, Silver Lake and Chapman service areas.  He assists with sales and service in these areas.  In 2008, Dennis’ youngest son, Zach Wanklyn, joined the family business.
