Engel & Gray, Inc. is celebrating their 77th anniversary in 2023. Located in the same building Carl Engel and Joe Gray started their partnership back in May of 1946. Both worked for Union Oil Company Carl running the local transportation division and Joe running the gasoline station at the corner of Broadway and Stowell Roads. The story goes that Carl drove into the station and asked Joe if he wanted to go into the trucking business, and Joe just pulled the doors closed and jumped in the truck. That partnership lasted for over 50 years.
