Hello!

I am a graduate student and researching Frontier Gas Station for a local museum. I was looking for some information on the history of the company, changes Frontier underwent over time, and Frontiers’ involvement in Colorado.

Where would be a good place to begin research to find out more information about the company? Thanks so much for the help!

I worked for the company for thirty years. Here is a brief history. Bud Robineau of Denver owned Western Nebraska Oil Company in the late thirties and early forties bought a existing refinery that produced 400 barrels a day in Cheyenne, WY. On June 6, 1940 he incorporated it as Frontier OIl and Refining with the headquarters in Denver, Co. There were 470 stations +or- in 1962 not including the Beeline in 9 western and midwestern states. In 1960 he bought the beeline refinery in Salt Lake City UT and aquired their outlets in Utah, Idaho and Nevada. In 1966 Robineau died. Husky bought us out in 1967, when they were taken over by Marathon in 1984 who promtly sold us to Flying J. Marathon only wanted the refinery in Cody WY. Flying J only wanted the SLC refinery so they sold the Cheyenne refinery and the Denver headquarters to a group of investors and we were called RMT Refining. The RMT stood for refining, marketing and transportation. In 1986 Wainoco of Houston bought us and we went back to the name of Frontier refining with headquarters in Denver. In about 2000 Frontier bought the old El Dorado refinery in Kansas. We now produce 50,000 barrels in Cheyenne and 100,000 barrels of product in Kansas. In 2011 we were sold to Holly Energy Corp. of Dallas. We are now called Holly Frontier headquartered in Dallas with I think 4 refineries. The Denver offices are now gone after 71 years. Mitch
