Tennessee Fuel & Convenience Store Association
The Tennessee Fuel & Convenience Store Association originally was chartered in 1929 as the Tennessee Oilmen’s Association and later became the Tennessee Oil Marketers Association. In 2008, the organization adopted a new name to better reflect the full scope of its mission and membership. The term “fuel” was selected to replace “oil” as bio-diesel, electricity, hydrogen and other alternatives to petroleum rapidly gain strength in the marketplace.
