Foster Fuels now serves customers in all regions of the United States. Foster Fuels began serving Central and Southside Virginia when L.H. Foster arranged with Texaco to become the area’s first Texaco jobber. He worked diligently to fulfill the petroleum needs of the community. His two sons, L.H. Foster Jr. and Watt Robert (Bobby) Foster, continued his work and expanded the business by acquiring other jobbers.
