Founded in 1924 by K.C. Irving in Bouctouche, New Brunswick, Irving Oil has grown into a major privately-owned energy company, operating Canada's largest refinery in Saint John and a vast distribution network. The company expanded from a single service station to a regional powerhouse, dominating energy, transportation, and industrial sectors in Atlantic Canada, and later expanded internationally.
Key aspects of Irving Oil's history:
Founding: Kenneth Colin (K.C.) Irving started with a filling station in 1924, later establishing the Irving Oil Company in 1929.
Expansion: The company built the Saint John refinery and established the Irving Canaport terminal, the first in the Western Hemisphere capable of handling supertankers.
Ownership: Historically part of the Irving Group of Companies, ownership transitioned to the Arthur Irving family trust in 2018.
Operations: Today, it operates over 900 refueling locations, a refinery in Ireland, and serves customers across Canada and the United States.
Recent Status: Following a strategic review in 2024–2025, the company announced it would not be sold, remaining a privately-held family business, though undergoing generational leadership changes.
The company is known for its deep vertical integration and significant impact on the economic landscape of New Brunswick, often drawing attention for its immense regional influence and environmental footprint.”

“Went in and got some milk, very helpful.
Went back a few days later and bought petrol, very helpful.
Couldn’t find any polar bears though, I’ll keep looking.”
“Great store! All the employees are nice and polite. Can be a bit of a wait for food but it is my understanding they are making adjustments to deal with food wait times. Amber deserves a raise!”
