⚡ Fueled by Vision. Powered by People. ⛽🔥

Our recent visit to Dooley’s Petroleum of Willmar, MN was truly energizing as students saw firsthand how a single truck delivery route that began in Murdock has grown into a regional leader in energy—serving customers with energy, LP, gasoline, and natural gas across the region.

A huge thank you to Randy Dooley, CEO of Dooley’s Petroleum, along with Dan Selander, Tylar Lint, and Melissa Payne for taking time out of your busy schedules to walk us through the real movement behind the business—logistics, leadership, and long-term vision.

Students learned that growth isn’t accidental:
✔ Surround yourself with great people
✔ Keep the customer at the center of every decision
✔ Be comfortable taking calculated risks, including strategic acquisitions

These principles have helped fuel Dooley’s success—and inspired the next generation of business leaders.

We’re incredibly grateful to Randy Dooley and the entire Dooley’s Petroleum team for their continued support of the West Central MN CEO Program and for helping power our students’ entrepreneurial journeys.
