This new facility combines office space with a parts warehouse, truck bays for service and delivery vehicles, and a full mechanics garage. The facility also complements the fuel storage facility that the company opened there in 2021. Industry veteran Scott Cohen has been appointed branch manager.

Helping company owner Bill Ermer cut the gold ribbon were his children Charlie Ermer, vice president of business operations; and Joanne Ermer, vice president of human resources and IT; and PGO General Manager Peter Iacobucci; Somersworth Mayor Matt Gerding; and members of the Falls Chamber of Commerce, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and New Hampshire Motor Transport Association.

Palmer Gas & Oil has been in the Ermer family for four generations and over 90 years.

“We’re proud to be one of the largest providers of commercial and residential fuel, service, sales and installation in our delivery area,” Bill Ermer says. “We are confident that Scott Cohen will bring the same core company values of friendly, simple, safe to our newest branch as we continue to expand our reach.”

In addition to its office headquarters in Atkinson, New Hampshire, and this latest branch in Somersworth, Palmer Gas & Oil also has an additional fuel storage facility in Raymond, New Hampshire.
