Sears Oil Co.

Sears Oil service station in Rome in 1983

 I remember there being what was a regional chain of gas and service stations called Sears Oil Co. from Rome (unrelated to Sears department stores and their own auto shops).  They were gone by the late '90s.  I needed more than a handful before I could do this one (I just know Onondaga County more).

Rome - N James St

Rome - Bruce St

Rome - NY 46 (HQ/refinery)

Utica - NY 5S

Herkimer - NY 5

New Hartford - then-NY 5/8/12 (pre-arterial)

Oneida - NY 46 & 365A

Rome (downtown) - W Liberty & N George Sts; a replica museum remains

Syracuse (Eastwood/E Syracuse) - NY 290 & 635; now Wendys

Syracuse (downtown) - NY 5 & US 11; later Hess and Speedway, now Mobil

Fayetteville (village) - NY 5; same as downtown Syracuse (not to be confused with corner of N Burdick St Speedway or Lyndon Corners Mobil at NY 92 [one-time Express Marts])

Fairmount - W Genesee St; now Delta Sonic
