Edwards was established back in 1969 as a fast and friendly heating oil distributor in Virginia and hasn’t looked back since. There is something about the phrase “last man standing” and that certainly is appropriate at Edwards. Starting small then expanding operations into the Cook, Ely, Chisholm, Hibbing and Grand Rapids areas over the course of 50+ years, adding a wholesale operation to supply the mining, transportation, construction, railroad, Great Lakes vessel operations in the early 80’s; then diversifying into retail convenience store operations known as Lucky Seven General Stores in the mid 80’s and 90’s and continuing on now; helped make Edwards and Lucky Seven a house-hold name. Trimark Industrial, a service arm of Edwards, was expanded to provide dust and ice control products and application in addition to worker safety supplies, lubricants, anti-freeze, and a Diesel Exhaust Fluid manufacturing operation for commercial customers was added in 2021. An especially exciting addition into the retail and commercial propane market was initiated back in 2012 and has filled a service void in the market.
