Reicker, Pfau, Pyle & McRoy, LLP is pleased to have represented JB Dewar Inc., a fourth-generation, family-owned distributor of fuels and lubricants on California’s central coast, in its acquisition of McCormix Corporation and Santa Barbara Fuel Doc, Inc., a Santa Barbara based distributor of fuels and lubricants with more than 50 years of operating history.
JB Dewar, founded in 1933 and headquartered in San Luis Obispo, shares McCormix’s history of family ownership and community engagement across the Central Coast.
The stock acquisition brings together two family‑owned companies with cultural alignment, complementary service models, and a shared commitment to operational excellence and customer service, the company said.
“I am deeply grateful to everyone who helped bring this together…Russ and Jake at Reicker Pfau for their steady legal guidance,” Ken Dewar said.
The transaction was led by Russell Terry and Jake Glicker on behalf of Reicker Pfau.
