The grand opening of Chandler's Esso Services, which would later become The Oliver Store

In 1939, The Oliver Stores began offering quality equipment to contractors and farmers in the New Gloucester, Maine area with such products as Oliver farm tractors and Cletrac crawlers. Soon after, the locally owned company expanded to the Farmington, Maine area to better serve customers in that region and to cater to the expanding forestry and timber harvesting industry. By the late 1990's, the addition of locations in Bangor, Maine and Lancaster, New Hampshire brought the company’s influence to all of New England. Today, the company offers top-of-the-line timber harvesting, processing, industrial and construction equipment with sales, parts and service support from professional personnel in four regional locations.
