HOWARD — Since 1960, Ingram Fuels and Ingram’s Market have been serving the community.

Although the businesses are completely different, chances are that you’ve used one or the other. Let’s take a closer look at both businesses:

INGRAM FUELS

Ingram Fuels, 4187 Nittany Valley Drive in Howard, handles everything fuel-related. Whether its heating oil, propane, coal, diesel fuels, gasoline, non-ethanol gas or race fuels, Ingram Fuels has it all.

They also offer 24-hour emergency burner service. And, an Ingram Fuels employee will always answer the emergency line, there is no answering service to deal with.

In a time crunch? Ingram Fuels offers same or next-day delivery. In need of a new fuel tank? Ingram Fuels offers sales and set up of tanks. Need a brand new heating system? Ingram Fuels offers sales and installation of complete heating systems.

Ingram Fuels is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. For more information about Ingram Fuels, call (814) 383-4447, 570-726-6162 or visit www.ingram-fuels.com.

INGRAM’S MARKET

No matter what you’re looking for, Ingram’s Market probably has it.

There are six locations — Carroll, Lamar, Loganton, Milesburg, Mill Hall and Zion. Each location is open from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m., seven days a week.

Ingram’s offers made-to-order submarine sandwiches, hot food, grab-and-go items, fresh brewed coffee, fresh produce, bread and baked goods, milk, eggs and dairy products, bagged ice, ice cold drinks, potato chips, snacks, candy, tobacco products, newspapers, Pennsylvania lottery tickets, ice cream and gasoline. Kerosene is offered at the Carroll and Lamar locations.

Unlike some of the big-box convenience stores and gas stations, Ingram’s is local.

William J. Ingram Fuels, Inc. was started in Nittany Valley by William and Madeline Ingram in 1960. Bill and Madeline have now passed but the business is still family owned and operated by the second generation of family, Ken, Stacey and Wayne, as well as third generation Shane and Kaleb Ingram. Let this unique hometown family help take care of your family’s fuel and convenience store needs.
