Curt's Oil Company


Curt's were found primarily in Oklahoma. They were founded by Thurman Curtsinger
of Lawton, Oklahoma around 1945. Later the headquarters was relocated to Muskogee
(before 1974). They were similar to RaceTrac/Raceway, lots of pumps and a tiny store.
This one is in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Taken June 27, 2004 by David Backlin.

Some time in 2005, all of the Curt's locations converted to Shell.
This happened because the company was sold to Crescent Oil Company, a Shell
wholesaler from Kansas.
